Wood County offers a variety of outdoor recreational trails and activities, however, according to the 2022 County Health Rankings for Wood County, 25% of the adult population reported that they did not participate in leisure time physical activity (“Wood, Wisconsin,” n.d.). We will develop evidence-based recommendations for an app that will encourage the utilization of Wood County trails and ensure that visits are safe and enjoyable for all visitors regardless of ability or background. We recommend that Wood County creates a new application and partners with one or more existing third-party applications to achieve this goal. We hope to include Wood County residents and leaders and obtain user data from the application itself once it is live.
