A majority of the City’s population participates in meaningful physical activity at least three times a week that meets or exceeds national benchmarks for cardiovascular exercise. A vast inventory of public and private city-wide assets is continuously promoted through a coordinated communications network. The result is a vibrant, engaged and even competitive community. Team and individual fitness opportunities are available to all ages. As a result, Germantown is renowned regionally and beyond for higher-than-average life expectancy and lowered incidence of chronic illness.
