The significance of parks to physical activity and public health: a conceptual model.
TL;DR: A conceptual model is proposed to guide thinking and suggest hypotheses about the relationships between park benefits, park use, and physical activity, and the antecedents/correlates of park use that focus on park environmental characteristics that could be related to physical activity.

A study of community design, greenness and physical activity in children using satellite, GPS and accelerometer data
TL;DR: An epoch-level analysis found momentary greenness exposure was positively associated with the likelihood of contemporaneous moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and this association was stronger for smart growth residents who experienced a 39% increase in odds of MVPA.
