Feedback themes

As part of the feedback process, we have identified key themes to help organize and categorize the feedback we receive. The themes are:

• Things to do in the park: How do you use the park, from active pursuits (sports, exercise) to passive ones (reading, socializing)? What activities does the park currently support, and what's missing?
• Getting in and around the park: How do you arrive at the park and move through it? What are the barriers or gaps in access and movement?
• Feeling safe and comfortable in the park: How does the park make you feel? Does it provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment?
• Nature in the park: What do you think of the park's natural features and ecological character? What role does nature play in your park experience?
• Making the park welcoming for everyone: Does the park make you feel included and welcome?
• Caring for the park: What thoughts do you have about how the park is maintained and cared for? Where are the opportunities to improve or introduce new types of maintenance?
• Staying informed about the park: How do you learn about and stay engaged with what's happening in the park?
