Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment Experience <br /> PARKS AND RECREATION NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY (2009) <br /> Glenview Park District, Glenview, Illinois <br /> Leisure Vision conducted a Community Attitude and Interest Survey in 2008 and 2009 for the <br /> Glenview Park District to measure usage and establish priorities for the future development of <br /> parks and recreation facilities, programs and services within the community. 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 for Parks and <br /> Recreation. His experience and ability to benchmark your results to other communities on both <br /> a local and national level provides credibility to the research.
