APPENDIX VII: OPEN SURVEY & BRIEF ON-SITE QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS INTRODUCTION AND METHODS The Naperville Park District provided an open, non-statistical survey on its website at napervilleparks.org for a period of approximately two weeks in July for any resident to complete; it asked the same questions included in the separate, statistically valid survey that was sent to randomly selected households. This version of the survey was promoted using social media, email marketing, and print/digital media, to name a few. In total, 1,540 valid surveys were completed. The data were checked for outliers and data entry errors and then then analyzed with version 27 of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program and the R Statistics program. Frequencies and descriptive analyses were calculated. Some respondents did not answer all the questions, thus, the number of responses varies among the questions.
