Assumes that a park is usable 7 days a week and 11 hours a day. All estimates have adjusted for the multi-stage survey sampling design. Estimates for bleachers were the marginal means across all parks. Estimates for other facility types controlled for park size, local population, poverty, observation time, and temporal correlation and were based on the comparisons with respect to bleachers.

Significance level based on comparisons with bleachers.
