Individuals with obesity-related conditions which may be treated with exercise would be given free access to state parks provided they have a physician’s prescription under legislation introduced by Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce.
The bill, A-4490, would create “Prescriptions for Parks,” which would allow practitioners to write a prescription for a New Jersey State park pass for individuals diagnosed with obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure and heart disease, which maybe treated with exercise.
