Alamance Parks survey - We need to hear from you

The County would love to understand your park system needs, please follow this link to take our recreational needs survey. The survey is estimated to take between 5 – 10 minutes.

Alamance Parks provides facilities, programs, and activities that improve the quality of life for everyone. We are developing a parks and recreation master plan to guide our efforts over the next ten years. Throughout the planning process, there will be public meetings and surveys to allow the community to provide input on the future of the County’s parks and recreation.

We will review the history and background of Alamance Parks to understand the existing facilities, conditions, and programs. This phase establishes the baseline knowledge required to evaluate current service levels and identify system strengths, gaps, and opportunities.

We will use multiple public input methods to understand public preferences for parks recreation resources. These methods will include: a statistically valid survey, a survey that is open to the entire population, public input meetings, and input meetings with local leaders and staff.

After assessing the existing parks and recreation offerings, we will compare the findings with the collective results of the public engagement process. These data sets will be analyzed to identify unmet or underserved needs. Recommendations and actionable strategies will be developed to address community priorities and guide future decision making.

In the final phase, the completed plan will be presented for local review. Formal adoption signifies that the plan will serve as an official guiding document for elected officials and staff, which will support informed decisions that help Alamance County remain an exceptional place to live, work, and play.
