Woodbury launches mobile recreation program to reach underserved residents

The Woodbury City Council discussed a new Mobile On-Site Recreation Experience (MORE) program designed to bring recreation activities directly to neighborhoods. The initiative aims to remove barriers that have prevented some residents from participating in city recreation programs.

Meeting date: Jul 22, 2025
Published Jun 22, 2026

The MORE program represents a shift in how Woodbury delivers recreation services to its residents. Rather than requiring people to travel to centralized facilities, the program will bring activities directly into communities throughout the city.

City officials explained that the program was created to reach residents who haven't participated in existing recreation offerings due to financial constraints, lack of transportation, or simply not knowing programs existed. "We created this program to reach participants who maybe haven't participated in our programs before due to financial barriers or transportation barriers or not knowing that our programs existed," one official said during the discussion.

The mobile approach offers additional benefits beyond accessibility. By bringing programming to underused public spaces, the city hopes to foster neighborhood pride and make better use of existing resources. "By taking a mobile approach, we're able to bring our programming out into the community and create neighborhood pride and use underused spaces that maybe haven't seen programs before," another official noted.

City leaders emphasized the social benefits of the initiative, highlighting opportunities for community engagement and connection. "This program will bring lots of opportunity for community engagement, friendships, meeting new residents, and then also introducing Woodbury recreation programs to participants that maybe haven't participated in our activities before," one council member said.

The program reflects a broader city goal to build community through recreation activities and ensure that all Woodbury residents have access to these services regardless of their circumstances.
