Engagement and Feedback:
A survey was made accessible to citizens through Rowlett’s website. The responses yielded valuable information to assist in the development of this Master Plan.
Survey Analysis
• The survey gathered 180 respondents over the course of 6 weeks. • Over half of respondents were between the ages of 46 and 65. The survey had a good distribution of respondent ages overall. • 67 percent of respondents were female. The difference in gender response rate could be due to word of mouth for this particular effort reaching more women than men. Typically online surveys are free of gender bias due to their availability to everyone, but in this case, there may be a skew toward female responses due to the significant difference in respondent gender percentages. • Over half of respondents did not have any children under the age of 19 in their home. • Over 57 percent of respondents had been a resident of Rowlett for less than three years. This is representative of a growing city. Typically residents who are new to a city have higher expectations for new amenities than long standing residents. • Almost half of respondents use a City park or recreation facility at least once a week. Approximately one third of respondents use one at least once per month. • The following three reasons were the top responses for why the respondent or their family utilize the City’s park and recreation facilities:
1. Children’s recreation (52%) 2. Adult recreation (48%) 3. Senior recreation (33%)
