Dunwoody Seeks Community Input On Parks And Recreation Facilities And Services

Residents Encouraged to Take Open Online Survey to Weigh In on Parks & Recreation Needs and Priorities

Dunwoody, GA – April 7, 2016 – The City of Dunwoody asks residents to provide feedback and input to help guide the future of the city’s parks and recreation facilities and services. The open online survey, accessible at www.dunwoodysurvey.org/open, is available for Dunwoody residents to complete over the next two weeks.

The survey is part of the city’s current Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update efforts and will provide critical information in determining community values, satisfaction levels, needs and priorities for the city’s long-term planning efforts.

The purpose of the survey is to retrieve vital resident opinions about what types of programs, facilities, and services residents want to see in their parks and recreation facilities and where priorities should be placed. Additional questions will assess current levels of usage, and other specific community needs.

“Community input is an essential part of this process and helps the city to best tailor the plan to reflect the community’s desires and needs,” said Brent Walker, Dunwoody Parks and Recreation Director.

A random sampling of residents received an identical mailed survey and these responses will provide statistically valid results for the Dunwoody community. The city and survey analysis team requests residents who received a paper survey invitation in the mail, to please take the time to send back responses.

The newly launched open online survey is in addition to the mailed survey and will provide a separate set of survey polling results which will be analyzed and compared along with the mailed survey responses to appropriately guide the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update efforts for the City of Dunwoody.

Residents can visit www.dunwoodysurvey.org/open to complete the survey which can be taken on a computer, tablet or a mobile device.
