In an effort to reduce childhood obesity rates and promote physical activity, the Boise Parks and Recreation department has implemented a children’s program that includes a mobile recreation van providing healthy snacks and activities to area children, the Boise Idaho Statesman reports. Launched in February 2008, the van tours parks, schools and low-income neighborhoods across the city, bringing athletic equipment, art supplies and healthy snacks.
