Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment Experience PARKS AND RECREATION NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY (2006) (2010) Lisle Park District,Illinois Leisure Vision conducted a Community Attitude and Interest Survey during April and May 2006 for the Lisle Park District to help establish priorities for the future improvement of parks and recreation facilities, programs and services within the community. The survey was designed to obtain statistically valid results from households throughout the Lisle Park District. The survey was administered by a combination of mail and phone. Leisure Vision worked extensively with Lisle Park District, as well as members of the prime consulting team in the development of the survey questionnaire. This work allowed the survey to be tailored to issues of strategic importance to effectively plan the future system. Extensive cross-tabular analysis of survey responses and benchmarking were conducted. The goal was to obtain 300 completed surveys. This goal was accomplished, with a total of 304 surveys having been completed. The results of the random sample of 304 households have a 95% level of confidence with a precision of at least+/-5.6%. Results from the 2006 survey resulted in a successful voter election to develop and operate new facilities. Leisure Vision recently completed an updated survey for the Lisle Park District. "The experience you have with so many communities was hugely beneficial. You brought this experience to our table thereby allowing us to give consideration to strategies that we would not have had the benefit of knowing through any other survey firm. Your unbiased approach and broad experience coupled with your determination to give Lisle the best possible tool to help map its future was evident and appreciated every step of the way. Our investment in Leisure Vision and the survey you produced will pay for itself time and time again through our re- allocation of resources from areas our community does not support to areas the community desires most. yl Dan Garvy, Director of Parks and Recreation DAN GARVY, Executive Director Lisle Park District 1825 Short Street Lisle, Illinois 60532 (630) 964-3410 (extension 4310 Leisure Vision Needs Assessment Experience- 10
