2007 Picnic Site Evaluation
This year, a total of 105 picnics were booked, which totaled $9,425 in revenue
after Minnesota sales tax was deducted. The Lake Ann Pavilion and the Lake
Susan Shelter were once again the most popular sites. In 2007, our city hosted a
total of 9,800 people at our picnic sites which is an increase from last year.
Staff also updated the picnic reservation categories. including a breakdown of
each facility, what customer type made the reservations, and what day of the
week the reservation was made.
Many customers were well-informed when they called to make a reservation
because they used our web site to find out the fees and amenities offered at each
location. This prior knowledge helped to lower my time on the phone, which in
turn increased work productivity in other areas.
Listed below are some general comments related to picnic sites:
.
The overall impression of picnic sites was good.
Participants like play areas near the picnic facilities and shelters.
At times, the shelters were perceived as not being clean.
Bathrooms in shelters need general painting and updating.
Increase reservations at lakeside and park view areas.
A few customers thought fees were too high.
Customers really like the privacy of our picnic sites.
Participants raved about how beautiful our shelters and sites are.
Look forward to a new picnic shelter in the Parkview picnic area.
