Visitors may use the same park for walking, play, or quiet time. Start with their main activity and recent use before asking what needs attention. Include people who have not visited so barriers are not lost.

When to use this park visitor survey

Parks teams and community groups can use this questionnaire for a named local park. It covers visitor experience and improvement priorities rather than a technical site inspection or emergency report.

For feedback beyond the park and across municipal services, use our city services template.

7 questions for your park visitor survey

Use these 7 questions as a starting point. All fields are optional; choose one answer where choices are listed. Leave an irrelevant open field blank.

Respondent introduction:
Think about the named park during the past month. If you did not visit, you can still tell us what would make access easier. Report urgent hazards through the park’s official contact route.

How to customize your park visitor survey

Name the park and retain the past-month period. Replace facility choices with those actually present. Offer paper forms away from the park as well as on site if you want to hear from nonvisitors. Provide the real urgent-maintenance route separately. Before sharing widely, try the questions with a few people from the intended audience and clarify anything they interpret differently.

Tell respondents where to return the completed form and who will review it. Paper answers need a separate review or manual entry process; they are not automatically added to online responses.

Creator setup before sharing:
One named park, past month; no safety certification or emergency-report handling.

- Do not invent organization details, dates, offer prices, a concept card, a job criterion, or other required context. Ask the creator for missing setup information before the survey is shared.
- This prompt creates a draft questionnaire. It does not process transactions, change accounts, issue tickets, publish testimonials, or make employment decisions.
- If an exact field or setting is unavailable, explain the limitation separately rather than silently changing it.

How to use the answers

Review visit frequency and activity before comparing facility feedback. Frequent walkers may describe different needs from occasional play-area users. Examine access barriers and open suggestions together, then verify reported maintenance issues through the park’s normal inspection process.

Should nonvisitors be included?

Yes, if the goal includes access. Invite them through channels beyond the park and separate their responses from ratings of facilities used.

Does this replace a park inspection?

No. Visitor feedback can flag an issue, but technical and safety checks need the park’s proper inspection process.

Can several parks share one form?

Add a clear park identifier and ensure every question fits each site before combining responses.
