When you think of Health, what comes to mind? Exercise? Diet?

What about Mental Health or Emotional Health?

​

In April 2023, Harrisville City earned the Utah Healthy Community Designation. This was accomplished by completing a lengthy application process. In the application, Harrisville City listed which health strategies it currently has within the city. Some of the items were; the Community Garden boxes, the Safe Disposal Box for unwanted/unused medications, recreational programs, and many more. The strategy areas were broken out into three categories; Active Living, Mental Health, and Access to Healthy Food.

​

In February 2023, the City Council unanimously agreed one goal they wished to focus on was to strengthen community access to parks, employment, shopping, and education facilities. A decisive step in accomplishing this goal is to conduct a walkability audit throughout the city to identify areas for improvement. The information gathered will be utilized to help the City improve existing conditions and plan for future projects.

​

To participate in the walkability audit is as easy as taking a step.

 

• Step 1 - Find an area to complete the study

• Step 2 - Download section map / walkability form

• Step 3 - Go for a walk
