1 - Introduction

Meeting Feedback Analysis:

Ideas and discussions at the April 12, 2017 Park Board meeting and the May 18, 2017 public meeting are summarized below: Participants were asked to list the “Likes” and the “Wants” of their community and the Parks and Recreation System.

Strengths/ “Likes”:

1. There was a wide variation of responses for this category, which could be interpreted in many ways. In this case, it appears to represent an overall lack of branding, marketing, and communication to end users/residents regarding the parks and recreation system and what it has to offer. 2. Certain existing parks, trails, and the recreation center were all listed as strengths of the current parks and recreation system. 3. Pecan Grove, Kids Kingdom, and Wet Zone were the parks most mentioned in the strengths feedback. 4. Pickleball and the Rowlett Community Centre are strengths of the recreation system. 5. Trees, shade, nature, and green spaces are consistently important to end users.
