Priority Health and the National Fitness Campaign launched a $600,000 statewide partnership to bring outdoor fitness courts to communities across Michigan.
The project was formed to fight obesity, improve quality of life and create equitable access to exercise for communities around the state.
Priority Health fitness courts will be constructed in easily accessible public spaces with the goal of building 15 more courts in the next 18 months. The National Fitness Campaign’s (NFC) award-winning initiative is now supporting more than 150 cities across the U.S., including Michigan cities Brownstown, Roseville, Garden City, Big Rapids and Saginaw. NFC launched the pilot program in Michigan when Priority Health assisted with funding a fitness court on the campus of Oakland University in 2019.
