Joint use is a way to increase opportunities for children and adults to be more physically active. It refers to two or more entities - usually a school and a city or private organization - sharing indoor and outdoor spaces like gymnasiums, athletic fields and playgrounds. The concept is simple: share resources to keep costs down and communities healthy. With limited resources it is wise use, safe use and maximum use.  Any and all properties purchased with tax dollars are publicly owned properties.  How can Missoula maximize the use of these properties to serve Missoula County residents better, especially those with the fewest resources?  For further information about joint use and the Active Kids recommendations for joint use click here.
