This guide has been updated from the former York County Physical Activity Resource Guide from 2015. YDPHC is a representative, district-wide body formed in partnership with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (MeCDC) to engage in collaborative planning and decision-making for the delivery of the Ten Essential Public Health Services in the York Public Health District. The York Public Health District includes all communities in York County. Our mission is to promote, improve, sustain, and advocate for the delivery of the essential public health services in York County. We recognize that this guide does not represent ALL the activities available to residents of York County. We aim to highlight free and public resources available to all. Many other options are available for your wellness needs. We encourage you to let us know if there is something that we missed. Our hope is that this resource guide will be useful to you and encourage physical activity among all members of your family. Use this guide only as intended - as a guide. As with any physical activity, there may be risks associated. Work within your own limits. It is your responsibility to determine if a new activity is right for you and your family.
