2023 Park Survey Results
Over the summer we surveyed Eugene residents, with the help of the Turell Group, to better understand perceptions of our parks and recent maintenance improvements made possible through the levy funding. Of the 1,172 respondents, 1,169 responded to the English version of the survey, and 4 were submitted through the Spanish version.
We found that Eugene loves our parks and they are important to the quality of life of nearly all survey respondents.
Residents continue to express the importance of the levy and notice significant improvements in parks since its passing.
Perceptions of safety, cleanliness and maintenance increased significantly in 2023 over 2022.
Funding parks is extremely or very important to nearly all respondents. For most, the changes made possible by 2018 Levy funds are worth the additional expense. This sentiment increased by 8% this year from last year's 70%.
Respondents’ top three operating priorities for parks are: ongoing park maintenance, cleaning up homeless encampments in public parks and maintaining hiking and biking trails.
As we strive to serve Eugene in the best ways possible, this survey will go a long way in helping us understand the needs and desires of those in our community.
