Parks and Recreation 8
Parks and Recreation 8 Parks and Recreation Introduction Past versions of the Johnston Comprehensive Plan have addressed parks and recreation in a fairly traditional manner by analyzing the components of the park system and making recommendations to meet future needs. This version of the plan retains this analytical approach while seeking to position Johnston to truly integrate parks and recreation into the daily lives of Johnston’s residents. This integration is known as active living. Active living is integrating physical activity into daily life. This integration is becoming more important than ever given on-going increases in adult and child obesity rates. Adult obesity rates increased in 28 states from 2009 to 2010 and declined only in the District of Columbia according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2010, a report from the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. More than two-thirds of the states (38) have adult obesity rates above 25 percent. In 1991, no state had an obesity rate above 20 percent. Iowa is representative of these statistics for the adult population. From 2007 to 2009, 27.6% of Iowa’s adults were considered obese. The state ranked 22nd in adult obesity. Fortunately, the obese and overweight rate for Iowa’s children aged 10 to 17 was only 11.2% compared to the national average of 31.7%. Iowa was ranked #46 in child obesity. Obesity rates are only one indicator of a society that has become more sedentary. Today, parks and playfields compete with interactive gaming and other media opportunities.
