Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment Experience <br /> NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY AS PART OF LONG RANGE PLANNING (2009) <br /> Northbrook Park District <br /> During July and August of 2009 Leisure Vision conducted a Community Survey for the <br /> Northbrook Park District. The survey was conducted as part the Park District's long-range <br /> planning for parks, recreation facilities, programs and services in the community. The survey <br /> was designed to obtain statistically valid results from households throughout the Northbrook <br /> Park District, and was administered by a combination of mail and phone. <br /> Leisure Vision worked extensively with Northbrook 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 /> Leisure Vision mailed surveys to a random sample of 3,000 households throughout the <br /> Northbrook Park District. Approximately three days after the surveys were mailed each <br /> household that received a survey also received an electronic voice message encouraging them to <br /> complete the survey. In addition, about two weeks after the surveys were mailed Leisure Vision <br /> began contacting households by phone. Those who indicated they had not returned the survey <br /> were given the option of completing it by phone. <br /> The goal was to obtain a total of at least 600 completed surveys from households in the <br /> Northbrook Park District. This goal was far exceeded, with a total of 652 surveys having been <br /> completed. The results of the random sample of 652 households have a 95% level of confidence <br /> with a precision of at least+/-3.8%. <br /> " Ron Vine's efforts developing and implementing our Community Interest and Opinion <br /> Survey were second to none. Ron played an instrumental role in assisting our organization <br /> lay the foundation for building our Strategic Plan. The Community and Interest Survey <br /> provided the foundation we needed to move forward on behalf of our community. I would <br /> recommend Leisure Vision to any community in the country. <br /> Rick Hanetho, CPRP,Executive Director <br /> RICK HANETHO <br /> ELSA FISCHER <br /> Superintendent of Recreation <br /> Northbrook Park District <br /> 545 Academy Drive <br /> Northbrook, Illinois 60062 <br /> (847) 291-2960 <br /> Leisure Vision Needs Assessment Experience- 16 <br />
