2019 Needs Assessment Survey Results
Over the past year, the Parks and Recreation Department worked with National Service Research (NSR), a market research and consultant company, to design and administer a statistically valid comprehensive needs assessment survey as part of the new master plan.
Working with staff, NSR developed an online bilingual survey that debuted at the State of the City event on Jan. 17, 2019. The following month, NSR administered a direct mail postcard to 10,000 randomly selected households that encouraged residents to participate in the online survey. The results of the survey are available here.
