Families in the Weis community lack safe play places for their families except for the Weis playground. The playground and future track will serve as safe family activity spaces that not only engage the families in outdoor activities, but also serve to connect the families to the hub of services through the Community Partnership School at Weis. The track will create opportunities for children and their families to spend positive time together at little to no cost. The goal is to encourage old and young alike, using the school grounds regularly to connect with their families and community members. Ownership and usage of the community track will create trust with the school which will encourage families to connect with the community school model and begin to utilize the school as a hub for all service needs including physical activity, health services, adult education, behavioral health and social service coordination. Providing safe recreation allows connection to the school, increased solutions to health and social challenges as well as pride in a community that has been in crisis for many years. When needs are met within a family system, the result is increased family connection, positive social interaction, positive well-being and academic achievement. The track will serve the nearly 550 students at the school, their immediate and extended families, and all community residents in the area.
