Annabella

As a small rural town, Annabella has worked hard to support the health of its residents. The citizens of Annabella are each provided a key to the town’s community center, which is complete with a gym and basketball court. There are connected walking and biking trails throughout the area, which are mapped on a town kiosk and will soon be added to the town’s website. To promote healthy eating, Annabella has a community garden and to address mental wellbeing, the town promotes the use of the SafeUT mental health app.

2024 Redesignation:

To be redesignated in Spring 2024, Annabella added new fitness opportunities to their local Community Center. They made significant enhancements to the exercise room, purchasing a new state-of-the-art Smith machine and free weights. Since the installation of the new equipment, youth participation in the exercise room has tripled. Based on community feedback, they also added a volleyball net to the facility, which has resulted in frequent volleyball practices. Furthermore, The Town Council is actively pursuing the installation of a brand-new playground to replace the existing one, and the Trails Committee is working to provide comprehensive information about the scenic trails surrounding Annabella.
