Q8: How often do you utilize the following services?
Parks and Programs both show the highest frequency of use among the categories, with a strong number of respondents indicating they utilize both categories weekly. Parks utilization was indicated at the highest range of engagement, between weekly and every few months, while program & lessons utilization fell at the ends of the spectrum, either weekly or occasionally, indicating a dedicated group of program attendees and attendees of events or seasonal programs. The data on Pool usage is less definitive, as the survey lacked proper delineation for seasonally affected services. Furthermore, here are insights on each service utilization based on the preceding demographic categories:
Parks: The 35 to 44 and 60+ age groups are the most likely to utilize, with the highest frequencies in categories Multiple Times a Month and Weekly. Two-child households reported utilizing parks Multiple Times a Month nearly as often as households with no children. One- and Two-child households reported utilizing the parks at half the weekly frequency as households without children.
Pools: response data suggests that pool usage decreases with age, with the '60+' age group being the least likely to use. For households, as the number of children increased there was a trend towards more frequent pool usage.
Programs: age group "60+" has the highest frequency of weekly participation in programs and lessons. Households with no children show the highest weekly participation, while households with one child 10 and under and one child aged 11 - 18 have a more varied participation frequency, with some never participating.
Rentals: age group 35 to 44 shows the highest engagement across all rental frequencies, while the 60+ group has the highest number of respondents who never utilize. Households with no children or one child have the highest number of respondents who never utilize. As the number of children increases, the frequency of never responses generally decreases, indicating that households with more children may rent facilities more often.
