Ways to address it
3 approaches- Community Recreation Center DevelopmentBuild or renovate community recreation centers offering fitness facilities, sports courts, meeting spaces, and programming for all ages, with particular attention to underserved neighborhoods and accessibility.
- Parks and Trail System ExpansionDevelop connected network of parks, trails, and open spaces through land acquisition, trail development, park improvements, and partnerships that provide recreational opportunities throughout the community.
- Youth Recreation and Sports ProgramsExpand youth programming including sports leagues, after-school programs, summer camps, and leadership development that provide safe, constructive activities and reduce juvenile crime and risky behaviors.
