This page was created to allow community members to follow along and have access to project materials, background information, updates to the process, and opportunities to engage in this important plan to shape the future of our parks and programs.

Participate in the first step of the planning process by taking the community survey.
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this linkAs an initial step in the PROS Plan process, we are conducting a survey to assess the community’s recreation and facilitation needs.
How do I take the survey?
Because we want to be both statistically valid and inclusive, we are conducting a mail and an online survey. 2,500 randomly mailed surveys will hit mailboxes this week. If you receive a paper survey in the mail, please fill it out! Your mailed copy also provides two ways to take the survey digitally: use your unique ID number on the survey to access it online or scan the QR code to take it on your smart device.
If you do not receive a paper version, you can still complete the survey online! The identical, community-wide survey will be available to all residents here on Let’s Talk on Wednesday, February 12. Look for a news update with the link next Wednesday!
The survey closes at 11:59 pm on Monday, March 9.
When can I learn the survey results?
Survey results will be presented to the public at our first community event on Saturday, April 18, from 10 am-2 pm, at the Commons at Islander Middle School. More details about this and other community events are coming soon to Let’s Talk.
We value your input in this important first step of the PROS Plan process. Thank you for participating!
