Substantial research has been conducted on benefits provided by use of local parks and associated resources, but there is limited work investigating determinants and interventions influencing local park use, especially among older adults. Some research has examined factors related to local park use by older adults, such as constraints, social demographics, social support, and health statuses. Most of these studies, however, address only a few factors, and no research has been identified that has examined their combined or interactive effects on older adults' use of local parks.

520 $a Substantial research has been conducted on benefits provided by use of local parks and associated resources, but there is limited work investigating determinants and interventions influencing local park use, especially among older adults. Some research has examined factors related to local park use by older adults, such as constraints, social demographics, social support, and health statuses. Most of these studies, however, address only a few factors, and no research has been identified that has examined their combined or interactive effects on older adults' use of local parks.
520 $a The purpose of the study was to examine factors affecting older adults' use of local parks and to specifically examine the role social support plays in these relationships. 683 individuals age 50 and over residing in Peoria, IL participated in this study, which intercepted older adults in both local parks and other community settings to complete questionnaires. The mediation and final models of social support in the relationships between factors affecting older adults' use of local parks were developed, and the factors and mediators identified in both models explained 30% of the variation in park use by older adults. The three most significant predictors of use of local parks by older adults were length of stay at the park during the most recent visit, who they went with, and having a park within walking distance. Results showed a significant mediating effect for social support, but no moderating effects were found. The findings suggest that an occasional reminder or other supportive behavior from family or friends played a significant role in affecting older adults' use of local parks.
