Location: Avondale, Arizona, population 80,684
The Problem: Most recreation programs in Avondale are held in large, regional parks and facilities, making it both hard to get to and expensive for outlying communities.
Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge Approach: The Recreation on the Move project is teaming up with local mobile farmers markets to make fun, health-focused recreational programs more accessible to Avondale’s low-income/low-access neighborhoods. This project will serve a variety of ages and feature activities that focus on improving physical activity and active lifestyles.
