Question 5 What other feature or features would you most like to see at the Great Park? (Open‐ended question)
Question 5 allowed for survey respondents to submit options they would like to see built at the Great Park. 1,830 surveys analyzed contained a response to this question and a total of 1,919 features were suggested when multiple responses were recorded. To properly analyze the results from Question 5, a word cloud, also known as a wordle, was utilized to illustrate the most commonly found words in constituent responses. A wordle is a research method that graphically represents the most frequently used words in either a book, document, or survey results. The more specific a word is used, the larger that word appears in the wordle. Analyzing the wordle and analytical data from the surveys revealed that the five most popular features submitted by respondents include botanical gardens and gardens, pool, trails, park space, and events.
Most responses that included gardens indicated the addition of a 59‐acre botanical garden. Pool was mentioned in 301 survey responses. A majority of surveys responses including this response also selected the water park as their favorite planned feature. Surveys including trails in their response was due to the large group of constituents that attend community meetings asking for a BMX track or additional bicycle trails. The high response rate of park space can be attributed to the response from constituents at community events observed by outreach staff who asked, “Why were there only sports facilities at the Great Park?” Events were mentioned in 121 survey responses and included constituents’ requests for additional holiday events and workshops for the community.
