Naperville Park District surveying residents online

Naperville Park District's 2017 Community Interest and Opinion Survey is available through Monday, June 12, at www.arisurvey.com/s3/NPD.

Residents are invited to complete the survey, adding their input for the park board and staff to consider when discussing the future direction of the district and creating a new strategic plan later this year.

Earlier this spring, the district's consultant, aQity Research and Insights, administered the survey to randomly selected households comprising a statistically representative sample of the entire community.

Results of the aQity study will be analyzed and presented in a report this summer. Additional input from the wider online survey now open to everyone will be reviewed, along with the statistically valid survey.

The survey includes questions about use of parks, facilities and programs; residents' needs and wants for recreation; and their opinion about the overall quality of the park district.

The community interest and opinion survey is conducted every three to five years. The public online version offers an opportunity for everyone to communicate their thoughts to the park district.
