Executive Summary
NPD Programs/Events: Participation, Satisfaction and Priorities
Overall, 30% report someone in their household participating in a District program or event in the past two years, most often: Athletic programs (73% of participants, not citing any age group but often reporting soccer, golf, dance, basketball programs) Youth athletics specifically (21%, usually soccer, softball, football) Community events (19%, e.g., concerts in parks, holiday events, etc.) On average, satisfaction with NPD programs and events averages an 8.0 on a 0-10 scale, considered “very satisfied” overall. This is statistically identical to the 8.1 average from 2017. Nearly half (45%) are “completely satisfied” and another 43% at least “somewhat” satisfied (vs. only 2% who are dissatisfied overall). Among the few who are dissatisfied, most seek: A specific type of program added or expanded (n=8 cases, scattered responses – yoga, cooking, exercise, art, etc.) Or give a wide range of other issues (n=9 cases, likewise very scattered responses including cost, ADA accessibility, safety concerns, lack of instructors, etc.) Residents express the most interest/demand for fitness and wellness programs (49%), followed by pool/aquatics programs (34%), adult programs for active residents ages 60+ (32%) and ages 18 to 59 (32%), and nature/ environmental education (32%). Each of these represents an unmet need or opportunity, especially fitness/wellness and pool/aquatics programs (the top two priorities).
