STRATEGIC PRIORITY
Increase Access to Outdoor Opportunities for Physical Activity
We continue to support collaborative efforts to advance opportunities for physical activity in outdoor spaces. We promote trail connectivity, recognizing trails as a critical resource for outdoor physical activity across the state. Trails promote economic development, community connectivity, and physical activity – making multi-sector, diverse partnerships critical in advancing trail promotion. We also recognize how critical parks are in creating spaces for community engagement and physical activity within communities. We promote the statewide expansion of Kids in Parks as they create a statewide network of Track Trails, engaging kids and families in activities that get them outdoors, physically active, and connected to nature.
Opportunities for coordination and support

The SC Trails Coalition is establishing a statewide trails community and a framework for mapping all the existing trails in the state. The organization is also creating a plan for connecting and maintaining trails and building new ones; advocating for the increased use of trails through programming and public outreach; and breaking down barriers so trails are accessible to all South Carolinians.
