Active Living in Alamance

Mapping Progress: A Look at Alamance County’s Active, Healthy Spaces

Since 2015, Impact Alamance has been dedicated to fostering a healthier Alamance County by investing in the built environment. This interactive map showcases the diverse projects we’ve funded over the past decade, from playgrounds and greenways to community gardens and outdoor fitness equipment. Explore the map to see how we’ve partnered with local organizations to create active, healthy spaces for all residents.
