Tooele

Tooele City is working hard to provide its residents with fun opportunities to live a healthy lifestyle. The city offers pickleball courts and skate nights, recently expanded one of its local walking trails, and is in the process of building a fun, ninja-style obstacle course available to the public. To support healthy eating, Tooele planted fruit trees at a local park and created a city ordinance allowing for backyard agriculture. To support mental health, the city offers places to be social and gather, such as a community center, and is in the process of organizing a community clean up program which will include free dumpster use and a community clean up trailer.
