Bedford Recreation Survey Now Live

Submitted by Jane O’Brien, Manager, Directory of Bedford Parks & Recreation Department

The Bedford Parks & Recreation Department needs your help!  The Department is looking to gather input from residents on its recreational programs, services and facilities to assist the Parks & Recreation Commission and the Department for the future.  Please take a few minutes to go online and complete this survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/bedfordparksandrec.

A successful recreation program is one that identifies whatever motivates participants to come through the program's door, and surveys and evaluations of program participants can provide valuable feedback. Knowing why participants come to an activity allows us as a department to improve the program quality and increase satisfaction among current participants.

It’s important, too, for us to know why some people aren’t participating in various programs, and the survey encourages you to volunteer your own ideas and comments.  Parks and Recreation Commission Chair Michelle Casale said, “There are a host of activities for both children and adults, and many people don’t know about them.” The survey, she goes on to say, will be important to help Jane O’Brien in the Parks & Recreation Department to understand what people want to see more of in Bedford.
