Bend Park and Recreation District Community Needs Survey

Executive Summary

Overview

ETC Institute administered a community needs survey for the Bend Park and Recreation District during the spring of 2017. The survey was administered as part of the District’s efforts to update its Comprehensive Plan that will guide the next ten years of parks and recreation in Bend.

The survey and its results will guide the Bend Park and Recreation District while identifying the community’s needs for parks, trails, recreation facilities, and programs.

Methodology

ETC Institute mailed survey packets to a random sample of 4000 households in the Bend Park and Recreation District. Each survey packet contained a cover letter, a copy of the survey, and a postage‐paid return envelope. Residents who received the survey were given the option of returning the survey by mail or completing it online.

Ten days after the surveys were mailed, ETC Institute sent emails and placed phone calls to the households that received the survey to encourage participation. The emails contained a link to the online version of the survey to make it easy for residents to complete the survey. To prevent people who were not residents of the District from participating, everyone who completed the survey online was required to enter their home address prior to submitting the survey. ETC Institute then matched the addresses that were entered online with the addresses that were originally selected for the random sample. If the address from a survey completed online did not match one of the addresses selected for the sample, the online survey was not counted.

The goal was to obtain completed surveys from at least 400 residents. The goal was exceeded with a total of 532 residents completing the survey. The overall results for the sample of 532 households have a precision of at least +/‐4.25% at the 95% level of confidence.

This report contains the following:

Charts showing the overall results of the survey (Section 1)

Benchmarking analysis comparing the District’s results to national results (Section 2)

Tabular data showing the overall results for all questions on the survey (Section 3)

A copy of the survey instrument (Section 4)

The major findings of the survey are summarized on the following pages.

Facility Use

The facilities within the Bend Park and Recreation District that respondents have used or visited the most include: paved trails (85%), gravel or natural surface trails (85%), and riverfront parks (77%). The least used facilities were outdoor basketball courts (8%) and tennis courts (9%).

Respondents were asked to select three facilities that they use most often. ETC Institute then added the percentage of respondents who selected each item as their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices.

Based on the sum of respondent’s top three choices the three facilities that are used most often are: gravel or natural surface trails, paved trails, and natural area parks. Sixty‐one percent of respondents indicated they use Bend Park and Recreation facilities or trails at least several times per week and 17% of respondents indicated their household uses the facilities once per week.

Only 1% of respondents indicated they never use Bend Park and Recreation District facilities.

Overall, 89% of respondents indicated their household has used the Deschutes River for recreation during the past year. Of those who have used the river for recreation 3% used it daily, 22% used it a few times per week, 28% used it a few times per month, and 11% used it a few times per year. Similar to the overall use of Bend Park and Recreation District facilities 11% of respondents indicated they had never used the Deschutes River for recreation.

Organizations Used for Parks and Recreation Programs and Services

Two‐thirds of respondents (66%) indicated their household uses the Bend Park and Recreation District park and recreation programs and services. The two most used organizations for recreation programs and services are: the Deschutes National Forest Trails (79%), and Oregon State Parks (75%). Respondents were also asked to indicate which three organizations they use most for programs and services. The organizations respondents used most for programs and services were: the Deschutes National Forest Trails, Bend Park and Recreation District, and Oregon State Parks.

Facility Needs

Facility Needs: Respondents were asked to identify if their household had a need for 40 recreation facilities and rate how well their needs for each were currently being met. Based on this analysis, ETC Institute was able to estimate the number of households in the community that had the greatest “unmet” need for various facilities.

The three recreation facilities with the highest percentage of households that indicated a need for the facility were: soft surface trails (79%), natural area parks (74%), and riverfront parks (72%).

When ETC Institute analyzed the needs in the community seven facilities had a need that affected more than 20,000 households. ETC Institute estimates a total of 8,726 households in the District have unmet needs for off‐leash dog trails. The estimated number of households that have unmet needs for each of the 40 facilities that were assessed is shown in the table on the following page.

Page iii

Facility Importance: In addition to assessing the needs for each facility, ETC Institute also assessed the importance that residents placed on each facility. Based on the sum of respondents’ top three choices, the three most important facilities to residents were: soft surface trails (36%), natural area parks (22%), and hard surface trails (20%). The percentage of residents who selected each facility as one of their top three choices is shown in the chart at the top of the following page.

Additional Findings

The Bend Parks and Recreation District asked residents to indicate the ways they learn about park and recreation programs and activities. From the list of 13 items the three most selected items include: the BPRD Playbook (66%), from friends and neighbors (55%), and the BPRD website (39%). These three items were also the most used methods of learning about registering for programs and participating in activities.

Respondents were given a list of 11 possible actions the Bend Park and Recreation District could take to improve the park and recreation system in Bend. For each item respondents were asked to indicate how supportive they would be of each action. Based on the sum of “very supportive” and “somewhat supportive” responses the three most supported actions were: develop new trails and connect existing trails (83%), fix‐up/repair older neighborhood and community parks (74%), and purchase land to preserve open space and natural areas (74%). After rating their level of support respondents were to indicate which three items they would be most willing to fund with their tax dollars, based on the sum of respondent’s top three choices the items they would be most willing to fund were: develop new trails and connect existing trails, expand the public‐ school partnership to include community recreation spaces, and purchase land to preserve open space and natural areas.

Page v

Respondents were asked to indicate their level of agreement with three statements regarding the Bend Park and Recreation District, the chart below shows the overall level of agreement with each statement. The only statement that did not receive a strong amount of support was that Bend Park and Recreation District should make an effort to attract tourists to Bend in order to support the economy. The other two statements received high levels of agreement from respondents.

Respondents were informed that future growth in Bend will increase the density of housing in some neighborhoods. Knowing this, respondents were asked to indicate which approach to serving more densely populated areas they support. Relying on existing parks to serve more people, decreasing the quality of service to avoid increased costs received the least support, only 15% of respondents selected this response. Sixty‐five percent of respondents selected the option of adding more park land and facilities to maintain the quality of service per resident and 59% of respondents selected enhancing existing parks to serve more people.

Conclusions and Recommendations

The Bend Park and Recreation Department should continue to explore the option of developing new trails and connecting existing trails. The reason this option should be further explored is due to the overwhelming support for the item, and 53% of respondents indicated it would be the item they would be most willing to support with their tax dollars. Although purchasing land to preserve open space and natural areas saw high levels of support, and saw generally positive answers regarding the willingness to fund the item with tax dollars, only 31% of respondents indicated this was one of the top three items they would be willing to fund with their tax dollars.

The combination of the willingness to fund the item and the high levels of support make developing new trails and connecting existing trails a worthwhile option moving forward.

The Bend Park and Recreation District continues to explore options that could give way to District facilities being used to support the local economy and provide a different mix of activities. Based on the combination of “very supportive” and “somewhat supportive” responses equipment rentals in parks and food and beverage vendors in parks are the two items respondents would be most supportive of the Bend Park and Recreation District exploring further. Only 29% of respondents were supportive of prohibiting commercial activity in Bend parks which, and 30% of respondents were “not supportive” or “not at all supportive” or prohibiting commercial activity in Bend parks. Although further public opinion research is needed in combination with a public outreach campaign, respondents were overall in favor of the Bend Park and Recreation Department utilizing their facilities to support the local economy, but they were not supportive of efforts aimed directly at tourists.

When analyzing the facilities offered by the Bend Park and Recreation District the same item was the most important to respondent’s households and had the highest level of need. Continuing to focus on soft surface trails within the District would provide the greatest benefit for the largest number of residents within the Bend Park and Recreation District. Natural area parks and hard surface trails were also among the most important and most needed facilities in the District.

Section 2 Benchmarking Analysis

Benchmarking Summary Report Bend Park and Recreation District

Since 1998, ETC Institute has conducted household surveys for needs assessments, feasibility studies, customer satisfaction, fees and charges comparisons, and other parks and recreation issues in more than 400 communities in all 50 states.

The results of these surveys have provided an unparalleled data base of information to compare responses from household residents in client communities to “National Averages” and therefore provide a unique tool to “assist organizations in better decision making.”

Communities within the data base include a full‐range of municipal and county governments from 20,000 in population through over 1 million in population. They include communities in warm weather climates and cold weather climates, mature communities and some of the fastest growing cities and counties in the country.

“National Averages” have been developed for numerous strategically important parks and recreation planning and management issues including: customer satisfaction and usage of parks and programs; methods for receiving marketing information; reasons that prevent members of households from using parks and recreation facilities more often; priority recreation programs, parks, facilities and trails to improve or develop; priority programming spaces to have in planned community centers and aquatic facilities; potential attendance for planned indoor community centers and outdoor aquatic centers; etc.

Results from household responses for Bend Park and Recreation District were compared to National Benchmarks to gain further strategic information. A summary of all tabular comparisons are shown on the following page.
