The California Center for Physical Activity
Creating Opportunities for Everyday Activity
The California Center for Physical Activity creates opportunities for everyday activity by connecting partners to active living resources and helping develop more walkable and bikeable communities.
The Center works through strategic alliances with physical activity experts, local health departments, community-based organizations and like-minded public- and private-sector partners.
Programs of the California Center for Physical Activity are nationally — and internationally — renowned. The Center's work to promote more walk- and bike-friendly communities is commended for its ability to engage non-traditional partners such as transportation engineers and land use planners. The Center's work to establish community-based physical activity programs for older adults serves as a model across the nation and has received state, national and international honors.
In 1996, the California Department of Public Health established the Physical Activity & Health Initiative, which became the California Center for Physical Activity in 2004.
