After a year of planning and development, the Active Alamance App officially launched in August 2025 on the Apple App Store and Google Play. This free digital resource is more than just an app, it’s a catalyst for change that is reshaping how municipalities work together and how residents access opportunities for healthy living. 

 

For years, one of the biggest challenges facing Alamance County was fragmented information. Details about parks, trails, sports leagues, and community events were scattered across multiple websites, social media pages, and printed flyers. Residents often had to dig through different sources just to find a single program. This barrier limited access to healthy activities and opportunities for connection. 

 

Active Alamance is changing that. Now, everything lives on one convenient platform. The app makes it simple to explore everything Alamance County Recreation and Parks has to offer—from hiking trails and sports programs to family-friendly events and wellness activities. By streamlining access, we’ve removed a major obstacle to participation and engagement.  

 

The app was born out of the Alamance Wellness Collaborative (AWC), a monthly gathering of leaders from diverse sectors committed to improving health and wellbeing in our community. This initiative is more than a technology solution, it’s a systems-change effort. By bringing together Recreation and Parks Departments across the county, we’ve created a shared resource that reflects a shared vision: making healthy living simple and accessible for everyone. 

 

The launch of Active Alamance reflects our ongoing commitment to building a healthier, more connected Alamance County. It is a tangible example of how collaboration and innovation can drive meaningful change.
