October, 1985 <br /> • REPORT ON RESULTS OF PARK INTEREST SURVEY <br /> This report is intended for distribution to the Council and the Parks and <br /> Recreation Committee, and for publication in the Town Crier. <br /> All the results are now in from our Parks Interest Survey, and the answers <br /> you gave have been compiled and are being used by the Parks and Recreation <br /> Committee for future planning. Some of your comments about maintenance will <br /> be implemented immediately. <br /> About 326 surveys were returned (15%), _which is a good return rate according <br /> to those who do surveys professionally. We'd like to have heard .from more,. <br /> of you. . .and if you have comments after reading the results of our survey, <br /> • we'd still like to hear from you. <br /> Overall, most of you who replied were pleased with your parks and with the <br /> care they receive. We were especially surprised and pleased with the positive <br /> response we received to the development being done in Crepeau Nature Preserve, <br /> and to trail development. You wanted more trails, better-maintained trails, <br /> and better-marked trails. The Parks maintenance crews, within the limitations <br /> of manpower and funds available, will be adding more identification to the <br /> trails and maintaining them more regularly. They will be upgraded as funds <br /> are available, but we'll probably give them a higher priority as a result of <br /> this survey. <br /> One thing we learned from the survey was that many of you aren't sure where <br /> all the parks are located, or where all of the trails are located. We're pre- <br /> paring a description of each park, and a map showing all of the parks and trails, <br /> for distribution to each resident. <br />
