I think its actually a smart way to encourage people to take something up and maybe do something in the community. Imagine this....government trying to enrich peoples lives and make the world a more enjoyable place to live...who'd believe that?!

If it actually did get people out and encouraged them to take something up then I think people would be more on board with it.
I agree with Sylvanfan though, all this does is encourage people to sign up for more memberships or more programs, but not necessarily participate in the things they sign up for.
Money/tax credits are standing in the way of most people getting in shape. Getting a tax credit doesn't change the fact that running/going to the gym is boring as hell.
