About the Program

 
The Maricopa County Shared Use Initiative focuses on the coordination and expansion of safe, affordable recreational spaces for community use.

The 2016 Shared Use Summit offered an exciting funding opportunity to community members interested in bring share use to their neighborhood. Public, private, and government entities brought together a diverse group of individuals that resulted in 6 shared use project teams.

Successfully activating 6 shared use sites, the project teams were able to connect over 1250 community members to safe, affordable recreational opportunities within the first few months.

Read more about the 6 shared use sites below. Maricopa County Shared Use Initiative was made possible thanks to funding from Maricopa County Department of Public Health and Vitalyst Health Foundation.
