I Dublin Parks and Recreation Survey
January 2008
I Executive Summary
Highlight of Results
The survey asked residents to make both evaluative assessments, as well as describe priorities
about what they would like to see from the Parks and Community Services Department. This
provides the City a snapshot of where they are now and where they should head in the future.
Overall, residents were pleased with the community and the City's parks and recreation
offerings. Quality of life ratings were positive and higher than average ratings across the
country for quality of life. Quality of parks, recreation and community services were also
favorably rated. A majority of all residents completing the survey felt that the quality of
parks, recreation programs and classes, and cultural arts programs and classes were "excellent"
or "good."
Of the individual parks and recreation facilities residents were asked to rate, the Dublin
Senior Center received the highest quality ratings. In fact, the Dublin Senior Center received a
higher rating than the average of other communities across the country.
In general, respondents felt that Dublin should continue the current level of spending for each
of the services they were asked to rate, perhaps reflecting respondents' satisfaction with City
services. Residents were interested in an increase in spending for a few services (e.g., open
space preservation and park acquisition and development), and only a small percent of
residents felt that spending should be reduced for any one service.
Within residents' priorities for parks, recreation and community services a preference for
parks and park amenities emerged. At the top among parks and park amenities was multiple-
use trails; 89% felt this was "essential" or "very important." This was more than 30 percentage
points higher than the most important recreation facility (a gymnasium for basketball,
volleyball and gymnastics) and the most important class or activity (cultural festivals and
events). The importance ratings for multiple use trails was consistent across respondent
subgroups, including age of respondent and the side of the City the respondent lived on.
Overall recreation facilities had fewer respondents selecting "essential" and more being willing
to select "not at all imponant" than was seen for parks. At least half of survey participants felt
that the gymnasium, an outdoor water park, a community theatre or a social hall/facility
rental space were "essential" or "very important." The class or activity rated most important
was cultural festivals and events.
S
When determining what residents really want, it is valuable to look at the activities in which ~
they are already participating. Hiking/walking and running activities were most frequently L
engaged in at a City facility rather than at another location listed on the survey (66% and 40%, ~
respectively). This high level of participation in hiking, walking and running is probably why ~
residents have such a high interest in multi-use trails as mentioned above. a

I Dublin Parks and Recreation Survey
January 2008
Activities like weight training, aerobics and classes were more likely to have been done at a
private facility than at either a City of Dublin facility or other public facility. In addition,
attending a play or concert, touring a museum or historic site and visiting an art gallery or
exhibit was done more frequently at other public facilities rather than those operated by the
City of Dublin.
The purpose of the survey was to understand resident perception of current and potential
features of Dublin's Parks and Community Services Department. Perception surveys tell what
residents think and not why they think it. The focus groups that make up the next stage of
the project provide the opportunity understand in more detail residents' reasons behind their
ratings and priorities. The focus groups can include detailed questions about program features,
the physical location of parks and recreation facilities, as well as thoughts on scheduling and
pricing. In addition, the make-up of individual focus groups will be based on homogenous
characteristics, such as users in one group and non-users in another. As the City considers the
results of the survey, additional ideas for the focus groups may arise.
Survey Background and Purpose
¦ The City of Dublin contracted with National Research Center, Inc. to conduct a
community wide parks and recreation survey. The Dublin citizen survey provided
residents the opportunity to rate the quality of life in the City, as well as parks and
recreation service delivery. The survey also permitted residents to provide feedback on
what parks and recreation services they would like to see offered in Dublin, which
they are already participating in and general barriers that may prevent them from
participating.
¦ This survey is the second step of a larger, multi-component parks and recreation needs
assessment that will be used to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for the Parks
and Community Services Department.
Methods
¦ Three thousand randomly selected Dublin households were mailed the Dublin Parks
and Recreation Survey. Of the 2,726 eligible households who received the survey, 452
responded to the mailed questionnaire, giving a response rate of 17%.
¦ Survey results were weighted so that respondent age and gender were represented in
the proportions reflective of the entire City. The margin of error is plus or minus five
percentage points around any given percentage point, and plus or minus five points
around average ratings on a 100-point scale. ~

I Dublin Parks and Recreation Survey

I Survey Background
What the Survey Was About
The City of Dublin contracted with National Research Center, Inc. (NRC) to conduct a
community wide parks and recreation survey of its residents. The Dublin Parks and
Recreation Survey serves as a consumer report card for Dublin by providing residents the
opportunity to rate the quality of life in the city, as well as parks, recreation and community
services amenities and delivery. The survey also permitted residents to provide feedback on
what parks, recreation and cultural activities were important to have within the community.
The Dublin Parks and Recreation Survey is part of a larger parks and recreation needs
assessment being conducted by the City. The survey was created using ideas generated from
30 key informant interviews conducted with community stakeholders. Survey findings will be
used to develop in-depth questions for focus groups and an online forum. Results of the needs
assessment will be adapted to create a comprehensive strategic plan for the Parks and
Community Services Department.
How the Survey was Conducted
Approximately 3,000 households within the city limits of Dublin were selected to participate
in the survey using a stratified, systematic sampling method on addresses within carrier routes.
Attached housing units were over-sampled to compensate for detached housing unit residents'
tendency to return surveys at a higher rate. An individual within each household was
randomly selected to complete the survey.
Households received three mailings each beginning in late October. Completed surveys were
collected over the following eight weeks. The first mailing was a prenotification postcard
announcing the upcoming survey. A week after the prenotification postcard was sent the first
wave of the survey was sent. The second wave was sent one week after the first. The survey
mailings contained a letter from the Mayor inviting the household to participate in the
Dublin Parks and Recreation Survey, a questionnaire and self-mailing envelope.
About 9% of the surveys were returned because the housing unit was vacant or the postal
service was unable to deliver the survey as addressed. Of the 2,726 eligible households, 452
completed the survey, providing a response rate of 17%.

How the Results are Reported
The body of the report is organized in the following way:
¦ Living in Dublin
¦ Quality of Parks and Community Services
¦ Perspectives of Users
¦ Facility and Class Priorities
¦ Use of Programs and Facilities
¦ Spending on City Services
¦ Information Sources
Responses to demographic questions can be found in Appendix A: Respondent Demographics
and responses by respondent subgroup can be seen in Appendix C• Responses to Selected Survey
Questions by Respondent Characteristics. The survey instrument along with a complete set of
frequencies can be found in Appendix E: Survey Instrument and Responses to Survey Questions
and verbatim responses to open-ended questions in Appendix B: Verbatim Responses to Open-
ended Survey Questions. Finally, a detailed description of the survey methodology is located in
Appendix D: Survey Methodology.
"Don't Know" Responses and Rounding
On many of the questions in the survey, respondents could answer, "don't know." The
proportion of respondents giving this reply is shown in the full set of responses included in
Appendix E. Survey Instrument and Responses to Survey Questions. However, these responses
have been removed from the analyses presented in the body of the report. In other words, the
tables and graphs display the responses from respondents who had an opinion about a specific
item. Where "don't know" percentages rise above 20% they are noted in the body of the
repon. As "don't' know" percentages rise, the margin of error for responses to that question
also rises.
For some questions, respondents were permitted to select multiple responses. When the total
exceeds 100% in a table for a multiple response question, it is because some respondents are
counted in multiple categories. When a table for a question that only permitted a single
response does not total to exactly 100%, it is due to the routine practice of percentages being
rounded to the nearest whole number.
Confidence Intervals
The 95 percent confidence level for the survey is generally no greater than plus or minus five
percentage points around any given percent reported for the entire sample (452 completed S
interviews). ~
~
d
As part of the analysis, subgroups were defined, including location of residence (east or west ~
of Dougherty Road). Other examples of subgroups created for analysis were respondent age y
groups (18 to 34, 35 to 54 and 55+) and primary language spoken in the household (English or ~
a non-English language). o

Where results are given for subgroups, the margin of error is less precise. Generally the 95%
confidence interval is plus or minus five percentage points for samples of about 400 to 10
percentage points for samples as small as 100. For each specific demographic subgroups from
the survey, the margin of error rises to as much as plus or minus 15% for a sample size of 44
(in smallest - households whose primary language was not English) to plus or minus 7% for
207 completed surveys (in largest - residents living on the east side of Dublin).

I Summary of Results
Living in Dublin
The survey started with general questions about quality of life in Dublin and residents'
perspectives on service quality. The following charts and tables display information about
residents' opinions of living in Dublin. Residents completing the survey rated quality of life in
Dublin favorably. One-third felt it was "excellent," two-thirds felt it was "good." Only 6%
indicated the quality of life in Dublin as "fair" and virtually no one said "poor."
Customer service and communications were also viewed favorably. Seven in 10 felt the City's
customer service was "excellent" or "good" and two-thirds felt the City communicated parks
and recreation information effectively.
National Research Center, Inc. maintains a database of comparative resident opinion data
comprised of perspectives gathered in citizen surveys from approximately 500 jurisdictions
whose residents evaluated local government services. NRC has innovated a method for
quantitatively integrating the results of surveys that we have conducted with those that others
have conducted. Normative comparisons have been provided when similar questions on the
Dublin survey are included in NRC's database and there are at least five other jurisdictions in
which the question was asked.
These comparisons were available for quality of life and quality of customer service. Quality
of life was rated higher in Dublin than the average of other communities across the country
while quality of customer service provided by the City was rated lower than the average of
other communities.

Quality of Parks and Community Services in Dublin
In addition to rating overall quality of life, residents were given a list of parks and recreation
services to rate as either "excellent," "good," "fair," or "poor." The quality of parks, recreation
programs and classes, and cultural arts programs and classes were rated as "excellent" or
"good" by at least two-thirds of survey respondents. The variety of recreation programs
offered was rated as "excellent" or "good" by 7 in 10 respondents. Ratings for quality of parks
and community services are displayed on the following pages.
When compared to national ratings, the quality of parks and the quality of spons fields were
rated higher than the national benchmark. The variety of recreation programs/classes and the
quality of arts programs/classes received ratings similar to that given in other jurisdictions
across the country.
Results were also compared by respondent subgroups: location of residence, age, children in
the home, older adult in the home and language preference. Some differences have been
highlighted throughout the report and a complete set of comparisons can be seen in Appendix
C: Responses to Selected Survey Questions by Respondent Characteristics.

Individual parks and recreation facilities were also rated favorably. The Dublin Senior Center
was rated as "excellent" or "good" by 9 in 10 survey takers. The Dublin Swim Center received
the lowest ratings, but was still considered "excellent" or "good" by the majority of those
completing the questionnaire. Also, respondents living in western Dublin were more likely to
give positive quality ratings to the quality of the Dublin Swim Center than those living in
eastern Dublin.
The Dublin Senior Center received ratings higher than the national benchmark for senior

Perspectives of Users
Residents who had used a parks and recreation facility or participated in an activity in the last
12 months were asked to rate the quality of that facility or activity. As with quality of life and
quality of service ratings, most activities and facilities were rated as "excellent or "good" by at
least three-quarters of survey respondents, and all were rated as "excellent" or "good" by at
least half of those completing the survey.
The Shamrock Preschool received top ratings, with all who had used it (10 respondents)
giving it a rating of "excellent" or "good." Less than 10% indicated any activity or facility was
"poor" except for Dublin Swim Center swimming lessons. While 12% felt the quality of swim
lessons was "poor," it was still indicated as "excellent" or "good" by three in five of those who
had used this activity at least once in the last 12 months. The table below and the chart on the
following page display this information.

Facility and Class Priorities
Residents were presented three lists in which to rate their priorities for the City: 1) parks and
park amenities, 2) recreation facilities and 3) classes and activities. For each item on the list
they were asked to indicate if they felt it was "essential," "very important," "somewhat
important" or "not at all important" for the City to provide. Additionally, for parks and
recreation facilities they were invited to rank which three they felt should be the highest
priority. Results for these questions can be seen on the following pages.
While not compared directly, overall, importance ratings were higher for parks and park
amenities for than recreation facilities or classes and activities.
Parks and Park Amenities
At the top among parks and park amenities was multiple-use trails, 89% felt this was
"essential" or "very important." This was more than 30% higher than the most important
recreation facility (a gymnasium for basketball, volleyball and gymnastics) and the most
important class or activity (cultural festivals and events). Four in 10 indicated this as a#1
priority and 7 in 10 selected it among their top three priorities. Passive areas, lakes and open
space meadows were also very desirable; 70% felt it was "essential" or "very important" for
the City to provide. Only 11% indicated passive areas, lakes and open space meadows as a#1
priority, and 40% indicated it as a#l, #2 or #3 priority.
Two-thirds or more also felt the following parks or park amenities were "essential" or "very
important": lighted sports fields and courts, shade structures, dedicated areas for dogs to
run/play and group picnic areas. Among those deemed least imponant were cricket and
lacrosse fields; at least two in five respondents thought these were "not at all important."
When comparing results by respondent subgroup, younger residents gave lower importance
ratings to group picnic areas than older residents. Compared to households that had children
17 and younger, those households without children under 18 years old felt that dedicated areas
for dogs to run/play and community gardens were more important. In addition, residents
living in eastern Dublin tended to give higher importance ratings to formal and community
gardens and lower importance ratings to baseball and softball fields than did residents living in
western Dublin.

Recreation Facilities
For recreation facilities, overall, there were fewer respondents selecting "essential" and more
being willing to select "not at all imponant" than was observed for parks and park amenities.
At least half of survey participants felt that the gymnasium, an outdoor water park, a
community theatre or a social hall/facility rental space were "essential" or "very important."
The fewest percent of respondents (less than 3 in 10) felt an indoor running track, a cafe or
juice bar, a climbing wall, an art gallery or a dance studio were "essential" or "very
important."
Those facilities ranked as a#1 priority or #1, #2 or #3 priority by the most respondents were
not always those viewed as "essential" or "very important" by the highest percent of
respondents. A fitness center with exercise and weight machines, a teen lounge/game room, a
community theatre and an outdoor water park were most frequently rated as a#1 priority
(approximately 11% each), and at least one-quarter felt they should be a#1, #2 or #3 priority.
Although the gymnasium was not ranked as a#1 priority by many respondents (80/6), 29% felt
it should be a#1, #2 or #3 priority.
Overall, those living on the western side of Dublin gave lower importance ratings to these
facilities than those living on the eastern side. However, residents living in western Dublin
were more likely to give higher imponance ratings to the City providing a community
theater than those living in eastern Dublin. In general, households who had children 17 or
younger felt that the City providing these types of facilities was more important than
households who did not have children under 18. Surprisingly, older residents were more
likely to rate a teen lounge/game room as imponant, than their younger counterparts.

Classes and Activities
Classes and activities were rated less important overall than either parks or recreation
facilities. Approximately half of those responding to the survey felt that cultural festivals and
events, student academic tutoring, enrichment classes and adventure trips/outdoor recreation
were "essential" or "very important." Non-recreational classes and activities (such as cooking
and career development classes) were, overall, more important than the recreational classes. At
least 60% felt that a flag football league, a cricket program, water polo, a lacrosse program or
synchronized swimming were "not at all important."
Similar to importance ratings given for parks and recreation facilities, residents on the east
side gave higher importance ratings than those on the west side. Compared to residents on the
west side, respondents living on the east side of Dublin felt it was more important to provide
classes and activities such as adult soccer leagues or tournaments; a cricket program;
cycling/spin classes; foreign language classes; cultural festivals and events; and music lessons.

Use of Programs and Facilities
City of Dublin Programs and Facilities
Residents who received the survey were asked to indicate how frequently, if ever, they, or
anyone in their household, had participated in a City of Dublin activity or used a City of
Dublin facility in the last 12 months (see the following tables and charts). The Dublin Public
Library was used most frequently with 78% of respondents indicating they had used it at least
once in the last 12 months and one-quarter reporting using it 15 or more times. No other
activity or facility was used by more than one-quarter of those responding.

To better understand why residents do not participate in activities or use a facility, residents
who indicated they had "never" participated in or used one of the above activities or facilities
were asked what reason or reasons best described why they or their household had not
panicipated. Most people reported that they did not have enough time to participate or use
facilities (48%) or that they never participate in these types of activities (420/6); one-third cited
the days and times as inconvenient. "Other" responses such as, "no babysitting" and "not
aware of activities available" can be seen in Appendix B: Verbatim Responses to Open-ended
Survey Questions.

January 2008
Participation in Parks and Recreation Activities: At the City and Other
Locations
Parks, recreation and leisure services are offered by a variety of different entities, including
local governments, schools and the private sector. Residents were given a list of 27 activities
and asked to indicate whether they had participated in each at any of the specified locations
(at a Dublin facility, at another public facility or a private facility) during the previous 12
months. If they had not participated in that activity anywhere they were also asked to indicate
this.
Hiking/walking and running were the activities done most frequently at a Dublin facility
than anywhere else (66% and 40%, respectively). It is not surprising that when rating
important parks and park amenities residents would rate multi-purpose trails as highly
important given their high use by residents. Activities like weight training, aerobics and
classes were more likely to have been done at a private facility than at either a Dublin facility
or other public facility.
While very few respondents reported they had not attended a play or concert anywhere in the
last 12 months (390/6), only 11% had done so at a Dublin facility. Most reported doing this at a
public facility (38%) or a private facility (28%). This trend was similar for touring a museum
or historic site and visiting an art gallery or exhibit. For more details, please see the table on

When thinking about enrolling or participating in a class or activity, safety, having fun and
the quality of the instruction/teaching made the top of most respondents' list. Many other
factors were also rated as "essential" or "very important" by at least three-quarters of
respondents: competitive price, cleanliness of the facility, easy of registration and flexibility of
scheduling/ability to drop-in. Both scheduling as a one-time workshop (instead of an ongoing
class) and the availability of private lessons were considered "not at all important" by at least
one in five survey participants.
Seven in 10 residents completing the survey felt that responsive customer service was
"essential" or "very important" when deciding to enroll or panicipate in an activity or class.
The City should note that while 7 in 10 felt customer service was "excellent" or "good," this
rating was still below the national benchmark for customer service.

Scheduling Preferences
Scheduling and flexibility were important to residents (76% rated this as "essential" or "very
important"), so hosting classes and activities at optimal times and on optimal days can greatly
influence the level of participation. Residents were provided a list of days and times and asked
how likely they would be to participate in a class or activity if it was held at that day and
time.
Saturdays, both morning and afternoon, and weekday evenings were the most popular; two-
thirds or more said they were "very" or "somewhat" likely to participate on those days and
times. Sunday afternoon and evening were also popular, followed by Saturday evening and
Sunday morning. This may be reflective of the high proponion of the population that works
or goes to school during the morning and afternoon hours on weekdays. Results for these
questions can be seen in the following table and chart.

Spending on City Services
Cities have limited funds and must choose how much and to which services they should
allocate these funds. Overall, the majority of residents completing the survey felt that the City
should continue the current level of spending on each service in the list presented on the
survey. Two-thirds or more felt the City should continue the current spending levels on street
landscape maintenance, park maintenance, fire services, public information/communication
with residents, library services and police services.
Public art was indicated by the highest percent of respondents (34%) to spend less on.
Approximately half felt that the City should spend more on park acquisition and
development and open space preservation, echoing the ratings of importance indicated for
parks and park amenities on the survey. Two in five also felt more should be spent on
recreation facility development.

Information Sources
When providing services and activities to residents, it is important that they know where to
look for information regarding these services and activities. The best way to ensure residents
get the information they need is to provide it where they are most likely to look.
Three in five residents reported they were "very" likely to get their parks and recreation
information from the quarterly activity guide they receive in the mail (90% were "very" or
"somewhat" likely) and about four in five were "very" or "somewhat" likely to get
information from direct mail flyers or postcards. Dublin's Web site and the online recreation
guide were also cited by more than two-thirds of people as being a likely source to use.
TV 30 and other television were least likely to be used, with approximately half indicating
they were "very" unlikely to use these as sources. Broad, non-City Web sites were also low on
the list of likely sources; 37% reported they were "very" unlikely to use these (see the
following table and chart for more information).

ended Survey Questions
Following are verbatim responses to open-ended questions and for questions which permitted
respondents to list "other" categories than those printed on the survey. Because these
responses were written by survey participants, they are presented here in verbatim form,
including any typographical, grammar or other mistakes. Within each question the responses
are grouped by theme or category and in alphabetical order. Some respondents' comments
encompassed more than one category; therefore their comments may appear more than once.

I Dublin Parks and Recreation Survey
January 2008
I Appendix D: Survey Methodology
Questionnaire Development
Development of the survey was an iterative process between NRC and Dublin staff. The first
draft of the 2007 Dublin Parks and Recreation Survey was based results from key informant
interviews conducted with community stakeholders by NRC. The survey consisted of four
pages of thematically similar statements grouped into question sets, as well as a fifth page of
sociodemographic questions. Questions ranged from the quality of services provided by the
City, the importance of the City providing facilities and classes and resident reports of current
participation in various parks and recreation activities. Dublin staff provided feedback on the
survey and consequently, some questions from the draft were removed, some were revised
and some new questions were added.
Sample Selection
Approximately 3,000 households within the city limits of Dublin were selected to participate
in the survey using a stratified, systematic sampling method on addresses within carrier routes.
(Systematic sampling is a method that closely approximates random sampling by selecting
every Nth address until the desired number of households are chosen. Carrier routes are mail
carrier delivery zones defined by the USPS.) Attached housing units were over-sampled to
compensate for detached housing unit residents' tendency to return surveys at a higher rate.
An individual within each household was randomly selected to complete the survey using the
binhday method. (The binhday method selects a person within the household by asking the
"person whose birthday has most recently passed" to complete the questionnaire. The
underlying assumption in this method is that day of birth has no relationship to the way
people respond to surveys)
Survey Administration and Response Rate
Households received three mailings each beginning in late October. Completed surveys were
collected over the following eight weeks. The first mailing was a prenotification postcard
announcing the upcoming survey. A week after the prenotification postcard was sent the first
wave of the survey was sent. The second wave was sent one week after the first. The survey
mailings contained a letter from the mayor inviting the household to participate in the 2007
Dublin Parks and Recreation Survey, a questionnaire and self-mailing envelope.
About 9% of the surveys were returned because the housing unit was vacant or the postal
service was unable to deliver the survey as addressed. Of the 2,726 eligible households, 452
completed the survey, providing a response rate of 17%. ci
E
Confidence Intervals =
~
It is customary to describe the precision of estimates made from surveys by a"level of =
confidence" (or margin of error). The 95 percent confidence level for the survey is generally 2
no greater than plus or minus five percentage points around any given percent reported for ~
the entire sample (452 completed interviews). For each demographic subgroup from the o
survey, the margin of error rises to as much as plus or minus 17% for a sample size of 32 (in Z

smallest - households with children 17 or younger) to plus or minus 5°/a for 404 completed
surveys (in largest - English primary language spoken at home). Where estimates are given for
sub groups, they are less precise. Generally the 95% confidence interval is plus or minus five
percentage points for samples of about 400 to 10 percentage points for samples as small as 100.
Weighting the Data
The demographic characteristics of the survey sample were compared to those found in the
2000 Census estimates and other population norms for the City of Dublin and were
statistically adjusted to reflect the larger population when necessary. The results of the
weighting scheme are presented in the following table. The shaded variables were the ones by
which survey results were weighted.

complete set of frequencies for each survey question is presented in Appendix E. Survey
Instrument and Responses to Survey Questions.
Also included are results by demographic characteristics (Appendix C.• Responses to Selected
Survey Questions by Respondent Characteristics). Chi-square or ANOVA tests of significance
were applied to these breakdowns of selected survey questions. A"p-value" of 0.05 or less
indicates that there is less than a 5% probability that differences observed between groups are
due to chance; or in other words, a greater than 95% probability that the differences observed
in the selected categories of our sample represent "real" differences among those populations.
Where differences between subgroups are statistically significant, they are marked with grey
shading in the appendices.
