Intercept Event - Staff from the Parks and Recreation Department and MIG have already conducted one ‘intercept’ event, collecting 100 surveys at the Sunnyvale Pancake Breakfast to learn about Sunnyvale Residents’ favorite parks and preferences for parks and programs in the future.
Intercept Event Summary Report
Telephone Survey – In December 2007, a random digit dial, statistically valid telephone survey was conducted. The telephone survey was designed to determine residents’ perceptions of the Parks and Recreation Department’s provision of services; assess residents’ perceptions of facility and program needs; evaluate residents’ priorities for future park and recreation efforts; and gather attitudinal, demographic, and behavioral information to profile park users and non-users. The results of the survey will be posted here soon.

A summary report of the focus groups is now available.
