Recreation Program Surveys - Discussion Only
History
Utilizing Select Survey, Recreation Department staff emailed surveys for two programs to participants.
The Cinderella’s Ball event survey was sent to 84 participants who provided their email addresses through program registration. The response rate was 35%, which is better than what is viewed as the standard response rate of 10-15%. The survey results were positive and provided helpful feedback to improve the 2015 Cinderella’s Ball. The following changes will be implemented:
1. Find alternate catering that includes healthier options.
2. Review the photography price packages offered and provide package pricing to parents upon registration.
3. Introduce a special “Daddy-Daughter” dance that is led by Cinderella and Prince Charming.
4. Add additional activities, décor, and photo opportunities with props.
The 2014 Sportsplex Duathlon Survey was sent to 45 participants that provided their email addresses through program registration. The response rate was 43%. The survey results were positive and provided helpful information for implementing changes for the 2015 Sportsplex Duathlon. Some of the changes being considered are:
1. Include two more age groups: 70-75 years and 75 plus years.
2. Make online registration available for 2015.
3. Purchase more water or offer a premix Gatorade for participants.
4. Provide a dri-fit shirt to participants.
5. Add a staff member to monitor the volunteers.
6. Solicit additional donations for the goody bag.
