2016-2017 - Great Park Public Outreach Surveys

Question 6 What type of special events would draw you to the Great Park? (Open‐ended question)

Question 6 asked each survey respondent to elaborate on the types of events that would most likely draw them to the Great Park. Of the 3,900 surveys collected, 1,864 constituents responded. Of the 1,864 surveys analyzed for Question 6, those that shared more than 20 similar responses were analyzed. Some 13 responses were submitted more than 20 times, and collectively were submitted 2,245 times, when multiple suggestions were calculated. Of the top responses to Question 6, events/festivals, concerts/music, gardening workshops, movies and family were the top 5 responses. Events/festivals were submitted 746 times as a special event that

would draw survey respondents to the Great Park. Compared with other results and local knowledge, respondents would be drawn to the Great Park for events/festivals presumably for the opportunity to attend a large scale City event such as current holiday events. The chart below outlines the quantity of the most popular responses to Question 6.
