The survey was <br />designed to obtain statistically valid results from households throughout the Glenview Park <br />District. The survey was administered by a combination of mail and phone. <br />Leisure Vision worked extensively with Glenview Park District officials in the development of <br />the survey questionnaire. This work allowed the survey to be tailored to issues of strategic <br />importance to effectively plan the future system. <br />The goal was to obtain a total of at least 500 completed surveys within the Glenview Park <br />District. This goal was far exceeded with nearly 700 surveys having been completed within the <br />Park District. Results from the survey were compared to Leisure Vision's National <br />Benchmarking Data-Base and Leisure Vision's Illinois Benchmarking Data-Base. These <br />comparisons showed that the Glenview Park District has better customer satisfaction, usage of <br />parks and participation in recreation programs, and higher overall measurements of value than <br />the average communities in our national and Illinois benchmarking data-bases. The results of the <br />random sample of 504 households have a 95% level of confidence with a precision of at least <br />4.4%. <br />"Ron Vine is the best in the country when it comes to Interest and Attitude Surveys fob' Parks and <br />Recreation. His experience and ability to benchm�arkyour results to other communities on both <br />a local and national level provides credibility to the research. 1 <br />Chuck Balling, Executive Director <br />CHUCK BALLING,, Executive Director <br />Glenview Park District <br />1939 Prairie Street <br />Glenview,, Illinois 60025 <br />(847-521-2250) <br />Leisure Vision Needs Assessment Experience - 18 <br />
