Lindon

Lindon has been working hard on building a healthy community! The city created a master bicycle plan that incorporates a trail system from the mountain to the lake. Lindon also built a pedestrian and biking path to create safe routes to four different schools. To help its residents have access to healthy food, Lindon has a Farmers Market that accepts SNAP benefits, allows backyard animal husbandry, and has worked to improve its local food pantry. Lindon is also striving to improve mental wellbeing for seniors and teenagers through a variety of programs and events.
