• Respondents typically visit Kenwood Heights Park (28%), Isaac Scruggs Park (25%), and Katy Railroad Park (15%) most often. All three of these parks are neighborhood parks, and the rate of utilization likely reflects proximity to respondent homes. Typically, there would be a higher rate of at least one community- or regional-scaled park, such as Pecan Grove Park or Herfurth Park. The lack of utilization rate of the community or regional-scaled parks represents a potential need for additional improvements to improved major parks and recreation destinations. • The following adult outdoor recreation activities received the most responses for participation by the respondents or their families within the past year: 1.
