└ Park enhancements
Older adults in Malad lacked safe pickleball courts, forcing play on deteriorating tennis courts or indoors at inconvenient hours. The city built eight regulation courts with fencing in Malad City Park, with volunteers-mostly age 50-plus-helping pour concrete, install nets and stripe courts. The new space is used daily and has sparked local tournaments, drawing players from teens to those in their 80s. "Pickleball is alive and well in Malad," one longtime player said, reflecting how the project boosted health, recreation and community life. Plans include adding lighting and benches for comfort.

Dillingham, AK
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025
Project Category: Park enhancements
Description: This program addressed a lack of places for older adults to rest while walking or biking to everyday destinations in Dillingham. They purchased benches, picnic tables and bike racks for the waterfront, park playground and tribal wellness center to give older residents safe spots to pause and gather. These additions improved heavily used areas and strengthened collaboration with local partners. The new furnishings encouraged more walking and helped residents feel proud of shared spaces. A program director said these adults appreciated being considered, noting how the project increased their sense of being cared for.

Marsing, ID
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2024
Project Category: Park enhancements
Description: Owyhee County ranks near the bottom in Idaho for health outcomes, and only 38% of residents have access to exercise opportunities. To change that, Marsing installed an ADA-compliant outdoor fitness court with seven workout stations on school grounds, creating free access to strength and mobility training. A ribbon-cutting marked its opening, and plans include Fit and Fall classes to encourage use. The court offers a lasting hub for wellness, promoting physical activity and social connection for older adults in a rural area where options were scarce.

Inkom, ID
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025
Project Category: Park enhancements
Description: Inkom had limited options for low-impact recreation that encouraged residents, including older adults, to stay active together in a shared space. The Inkom Revitalization Commission addressed this by building a new pickleball court in a central park already used for walking and daily activity. The project required coordination with city leaders, volunteers and local businesses to install the concrete pad, playing surface, lines and net needed for regular play. The completed court created a durable space where older adults and other residents can exercise, socialize and return often. Community response was strong enough that city leaders began pursuing funding for a second court, extending the project's impact. A student who led the effort described the process as demanding but rewarding, pointing to a lasting sense of accomplishment once the court was finished.

Pocatello, ID
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2021
Project Category: Addressing community health
Description: Many low-income Pocatello residents have limited access to fresh fruit and vegetables. Growling Garden, a community-based organization that addresses food insecurity, worked to address this by providing families with raised garden box kits. Each family received a three-tiered garden box, seed packets, compost and trowels to help them plant a backyard garden. The project helped economically strapped families extend their food budgets and gain access to healthy produce.
