Developing model policies to increase access to public facilities (e.g., public school athletic facilities) for physical activity is one of the priority recommendations in the Washington State Nutrition and Physical Activity Plan. Several communities in Washington have established formal agreements with school districts to address liability issues and other management issues associated with sharing recreational facilities.

Examples of joint use agreements from communities across the state have been collected and made available in the Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington's Web-based document library.
