The City of Admire is planning to build a pickleball, basketball and tennis court, thanks to $30,000 in funding from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas as part of Healthier Lyon County’s Pathways to a Healthy Kansas grant. The City of Admire worked with the Healthier Lyon County Coalition to assess the active infrastructure environment at the Admire City Park including tobacco-free grounds policies, making the City eligible for implementation funding. The City of Admire has been prioritizing community health by working hard to make improvements to the city park, most recently adding a disc golf course. The City park also connects to the Flint Hills Nature Trail State Park, a popular trail for cyclists.
