Patrons of community-based parks save money by utilizing the free recreation services that parks offer. In turn, the money that patrons save through the direct use of urban green spaces is money that can be spent elsewhere in the community. This benefits businesses, as consumers have more disposable income to put back into the local market economy. In this way, the entire community benefits from using the free recreation services available in a park. (Appleseed, Inc. 2009, Harnik 2009, Schwartz 2009, The Trust for Public Land 2008, Wolf 2004b)
