2026 Park Ridge Park District Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment
Your feedback is important! The Park Ridge Park District is conducting a Community Needs Assessment Survey to better understand the needs and priorities of our residents. Feedback from our last community survey, conducted in 2018, has played a significant role in decisions regarding our parks, open spaces, recreation programs, and facilities over the past eight years. Your input today will help shape the Park District’s priorities for the future.
Your participation is especially important. The survey is the first step in the Park District’s process to update our Master Plan and Strategic Plan, which will help guide District priorities and investments over the next decade.
We appreciate your time. The survey will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete, and each question provides valuable information. Your responses will help the Park District take a resident-driven approach to planning and decision-making that enhances our community and the quality of life for Park Ridge residents. Whether you regularly use Park District parks, facilities, and programs, or rarely or never use them, we want to hear from you.
To ensure confidentiality, the Park District has partnered with ETC Institute, an independent consulting firm, to administer the survey. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Beth Golden at 847-692-3482 or mgolden@prparks.org.
