Abstract: Universities recognize they have a civic responsibility to engage and enrich the community in which they reside. This study looks at a community engagement project undertaken at one university that was intended to address significant recreational needs within the community while also furthering academic initiatives. As part of the appeal to various levels of government for financial support to build a campus recreation complex, senior administration at the University promised to engage marginalized community members through implementing a charter to enshrine open community access. This research was a cross-sectional exploration of one university's engagement with the community through sport and physical activity, with the overall intent of understanding the implementation of the University's Charter and how this has worked to address some of the issues related to marginalized groups living in the inner-city. Interviews were conducted with four university members who, in their various roles, have held some level of responsibility in the implementation of the Charter. Clarke and colleagues' (2017) Situational Analysis was used to deconstruct interview transcripts, code, and develop themes. After listening to the voices of the participants, three major themes, as well as nine sub-themes, emerged from the data.
