West Virginia is home to beautiful state parks and natural resources, providing an ideal setting/environment for enjoyable and meaningful leisure-time physical activity. Therefore, community recreation, fitness, and parks professionals play an important role in designing and delivering opportunities for citizens to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives. This can be accomplished through strategies to provide better access to, and education about, existing resources, natural environments, and facilities. Further capacity building by embracing best practices in developing and implementing programs can serve to provide increased opportunities for physical activity for individuals of all ages.
Improving the culture of physical activity in our state by providing awareness, education, guidance, and opportunities.
