Woodstock Recreation Public Input

Sunday, 25 January 2015 07:16

The City of Woodstock has released a survey to gather feedback regarding recreation facilities.

WOODSTOCK - The City of Woodstock is looking for your feedback on what recreation facilities you would like to see added or upgraded over the next five years. 

Director of Parks and Recreation Brian Connors says the Recreation Facility needs study is now out for a 90 day public comment period so staff felt a survey may be the best way to collect the data they were looking for. 

"They could kind of rank some of the recommendations. Now there is actually 32 recommendations in the study however we did a much smaller survey so people could (a) do it without spending a lot of time on it but some of the recommendations that we didn't include in it would be well past five years out before they would be implemented."

Connors says the information collected in the survey will be presented to Council. "They will get all of the results of the surveys and all of the comments and then council has got a lot of decisions coming up with recreational assets. Recreational assets aren't cheap so they have got to weigh everything and this is just giving them more information so that they can make their decisions going forward."

Connors says the survey gives staff the business intelligence to go forward so that staff isn't creating things out of a whim notion but rather based upon what the residents wanted and what is right for the community.

He hopes as many residents as possible participate in the survey.

All 32 recommendations included in the Recreation Facility Needs Study where based on demographics including population forecasts and local socio-demographic characteristics, market trends, benchmarking and community input from the public and stakeholders. 

The survey can be found here.
