Improving our Regional Parks
We’ve been asking park visitors and the community what they think about Regional Parks since 2004. We use the feedback we receive to find out what you think should be improved in parks and this guides:
- Park facility improvements
- Park maintenance activities
- Planning about where new facilities are needed and should be located
- What services we can improve on
We report overall park visitor satisfaction levels to Council and aim for highly enjoyable park experiences. We use survey feedback to find out if community experiences of regional parks and river trails is changing.
The surveys also include people who don’t visit parks because there may be things we can change to encourage or support more visits.
People consistently report high levels of enjoyment from their experiences and provide valuable feedback about possible improvements.
