Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment Experience PARKS AND RECREATION NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY (2010) Geneva Park District, Illinois Leisure Vision conducted a community survey for the Geneva Park District as part of a Strategic Plan during the spring and early summer of 2010. The purpose of the survey was to 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 Geneva Park District. The survey was administered by a combination of mail and phone. Leisure Vision worked extensively with Geneva Park District officials 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. A total of 1,007 surveys were completed. The results of the random sample of 508 households have a 95% level of confidence with a precision of at least +/-3.1%. Results from the survey were also compared to Leisure Vision's national data-base of survey responses from communities across the country as well as Illinois communities. " What made Leisure Vision the best choice for the Geneva Park District was that our project manager had had many years of experience in the field of parks and recreation providing a grass roots understanding of our mission and goals. Their benchmarking capabilities both in Illinois and throughout the nation gave them a clear advantage and their ability to understand community trends as they relate to Parks and Recreation was very valuable in helping analyze our results. This was by far the most comprehensive data we have ever collected th ro ugh our needs assessment process. Thanks Ron!"
