Increase the amount of public sports facilities.

Increase the amount of public sports facilities.

Increase the amount of public sports facilities for leisure purposes for children, youth and adults alike this could be: basketball courts , football pitches, miniature skateparks , athletics and more. Places for these facilities could be public schools after hours, disused landfills and abandoned facilities. Increasing activity amongst youth will improve the health of the future generation thus reducing excessive public health bills.

Points

Improving/increasing public sports facilities for all (making it cheaper to participate in a sport) Increasing activity amongst youth will improve the health of the future generation thus reducing excessive public health bills. Foster activity amongst all

Sport Associations and clubs need more facilities. Some associations / clubs have to rent at high prices. Also the fact they don't have their own premises discourages them from investing on the sporting equipment/apparatus which ideally has to be fixed permanently. Again we have to follow the model of Iceland in the investment of sport facilities. The result is excellent sporting achievements in all disciplines and a healthier population.
