As July comes to a close, we’re celebrating the parks and public spaces that help us move more, feel better, and build stronger communities.

From trails and splash pads to quiet green spaces, parks make movement more accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages and abilities. They’re more than just places - they’re part of what makes healthy living possible.

Let’s keep the momentum going. Explore what Michigan parks have to offer:

As Michigan Moves Month comes to a close, we’re reminded that real change doesn’t happen in a single month. It happens when we commit to consistent action over time.

Keep advocating. And if you haven’t yet, join the Michigan Moves Coalition and help make movement possible for everyone, every day. https://mimoves.org/

Why Movement Needs Systems Change Movement isn't just about motivation. It's about design. When cities are built for cars instead of people, when schools lack safe outdoor space, and when workplaces don’t support movement, physical activity becomes harder to access. That’s why the Michigan Moves Coalition focuses on long-term systems change. Through policy, planning, and collaboration, we're helping shape environments that support movement for everyone.

Not everyone needs to lead policy change to make a difference. Ambassadors help spread the word, share resources, and bring Michigan Moves Month to life in their communities. If you're passionate about helping people move more and want to support the movement in a simple, meaningful way, becoming an ambassador is a great place to start.

This work needs leaders at every level. You can make a difference. Start here: https://mimoves.org/join-the-movement/
