Park and Recreational N~eds Assessment Attached are copies of Park and Recreation Needs Assessment Surveys from the Cities of Chanhassen, Plymouth and Shakopee. The surveys are similar in regard to the type of questions asked; however, the Chanhassen survey was conducted by phone whereas the Plymouth and Shakopee surveys were mailed. Each asked questions concerning demographics, park and recreational facilities, ....and recreational programming. The Plymouth survey was written with the intent of receiving information mainly on the quality of park and recreation programs. The Shakopee survey is extensive in some areas, but includes a large number of open ended questions. The survey conducted by Chanhassen in 1987 was both comprehensive and concise. Interspersed in these surveys are miscellaneous questions used to gain information on particular concerns to each city, i.e. Chanhassen-- community center and funding; Plymouth--special needs; Shakopee--funding, philosophy and comparison of agencies offering park and recreational services. It is important that each Commission member thoroughly review each of these surveys. Questions of interest should be noted, and those questions you feel are ambiguous, open ended, or not important, should be crossed out. This will allow the Commission to work towards a consensus of the precise questions which need to be asked. Other items of discussion will include the format of the survey, distribution techniques, number of surveys to be distributed, evaluation techniques, and what action will be formulated in response to the results. It is interesting to review the responses received in 1987. When comparing the results to the direction development of park and recreation facilities has progressed, you will find that the two do not coincide in many areas. Bike paths, walking paths, jogging trails and hiking trails ranked Nos. 1,2,6 and 7, respectively. I would anticipate a similar response this year; however, we are now only beginning to make the long climb towards realizing the ft. ~~ PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Park and Recreation Commission February 7, 1992 Page2 establishment of a functional trail system. Not surprisingly, facilities the city is deficient in received high ratings, and those facilities which exist at some level received lower ratings. This scenario also held true in the progn~mming section, although to a lesser extent. I join in the Commission's enthusiasm over the prospect of formulating a consensus of how the Chanhassen community perceives its park and recreational facilities, programs, and opportunities. However, my belief that the Commission has the integrity and will to react to the impending survey results, taking actions in areas of need excites me more.

CHANHASSEN PARKS AND RECREATION SURVEY RESULTS May 5, 1987 PURPOSE OF STUDY: The following survey was commissioned by the Chanhassen Parks and Recreation Committee in order to determine the specific needs of the local community and their expectations of the city's parks and recreation system. METHOD: The survey was developed in the form of a telephone script. Each survey took approximately seven minutes to complete. Chanhassen Parks and Recreation Committee members, city staff and several other volunteers assisted in conducting the survey. Two hundred and nineteen households, (219) out of a total of 1490 available (listed in the 1986 Cole's Directory), were surveyed. . TOPICS ANALYZED: The major topical areas covered in the survey included; I. Household and personal information. II. Facilities. III. Programs. IV. Indoor recreational community center. V. Funding. VI. Trail system. CONCLUSIONS: Household/personal information: The household information recieved. from the study indicates a good representation of the population. The distribution in the length of time living in Chanhassen is evenly spread over the choices and by far the vast majority live in single family dwellings (85%). Compared with recent statistical data available on Chanhassen the average household size is slightly larger (1985 estimates 2.86/people per household vs. the surveys 3.12). Personal information on the specific interviewees indicate a representative mix of both males and females. The most common age of interviewee was between 35 and 59 years old (55%), with the majority working full time (64%). . Facilities: The results of the series of questions asked concerning facilities have been arranged in a descending order in relation to the "TOO FEW" response. The top seven responses, all having a "TOO FEW" frequency of over fifty percent deal p~imarily with the trail network, including: paved bike paths, walking paths, and jogging and hiking trails. The other three top ranking facilities which over fifty percent of the population surveyed felt there are too few were; swimming pool, open air shelters, and fiShing docks. . Programs: The section in the survey dealing with specific programs was designed as a two part question1 first, to ask if the household would be interested if the program was available, and secondly, to determine if the household was currently actively utilizing such a program. The results have been organized in a decending order in relation to the "YES" responses to the first part of the question. Another ratio has been added which is the percent increase in participation over current participation in the specific program. This ratio may be significant in making specific program funding decisions since it represents the potential increase in participation for either existing or future programs. Indoor Recreational Community Center: The responses to the question dealing with the.community center were quite positive with seventy nine percent of the population surveyed answering "YES" when asked if they thought the city needed an indoor recreational community center. The programs section of the survey also lends some support to the community center in relation to possible facilities and programs offered. It appears that swimming, tennis, and areobics facilities ranked high enough to warrent consideration in the . planning of the center. Funding: Parks and recreation funding was dealt with in two specific questions. The first question took an indirect approach which not only supplied funding information but also information as to the relative importance of park services provided. The interpretation of the results of this question are arranged in descending order in relation to the "MORE" option of the question (which referred to spending more vs. the same or less on that specific service). The top response, with sixty five percent answering yes, dealt with the improvement and enlargement of the trail network. Two other services also received a fifty or more percent positive response rate including 1 physical improvements to enable specific programs (with fifty three percent), and organized recreation programs (with fifty percent). The second question in the survey dealing.with funding took a more direct approach and asked wether or not certain methods of funding were acceptable. User fees, with an eighty percent positive response rate, was the only method of the three options available to have a fifty percent or better response rate. *Note - Grant Scholen of the.Metropolitin Council conducted .a study on user fees entitled "Fees and Charges in the Regional Recreation Open Space System" in February 1987 which should answer any implementation or establishment questions concerning . user fees. t . Trail system: Information concerning the trails in Chanhassen can be analyzed by drawing on two specific sections "of the survey; facilities and funding. In both sections the trail system finished with the best results in relation to the other questions in the section.
