N2  - Local schools can promote positive social change through expanding shared use of their facilities and campuses. This study investigates the merits of expanding shared use in an urban community in Phoenix, Arizona. Shared use--the use of schools during off-hours--can provide pathways to greater community well-being, specifically through supplying space and amenities for physical and social activity for children, adolescents, and adults. Schools must overcome barriers when expanding shared use, such as safety and supervision; liability, maintenance, and operating costs; as well as communication issues between districts, schools, and communities.     Key Words: school-community partnerships, recreation, physical activity, public services, shared use, districts, communities, facilities, communication<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
