A Glimpse Into What’s Next: A Community Wellness Hub

The Fitness Court Studio is just the first phase of a larger and more ambitious vision. SCMH is laying the foundation for a Community Wellness Hub—a vibrant outdoor destination that will include:

• Exercise classes led by the SCMH Rehab Services Department and SCMH Fitness Court Ambassadors
• A looping walking and fitness trail connecting the Fitness Court to the High School track
• An educational pollinator trail that brings nature, beauty, and learning to the community
• Art sculptures and interactive installations that celebrate rural identity and creativity
• Benches and gathering spaces designed to foster rest, reflection, and relationships

This vision is bold yet achievable, made possible by community collaboration, generous partners, and a shared belief that small towns deserve world-class wellness opportunities. Each step forward builds momentum for a healthier, more connected future.

The Fitness Court Studio is more than a project—it’s a promise. A promise that the health and vitality of Smith County will continue to grow through thoughtful investment, compassionate care, and the belief that rural communities can lead the way in innovation, wellness, and belonging.
