Durham Parks & Recreation Community Survey

Durham Parks & Recreation Department (DPR) and Committee are working with UNH ARRC Lab (Applied Recreation Research Collaborative) to undertake a Community Needs Assessment and Visitor Use Management Study for Jackson’s Landing and Woodridge Park. The primary focus of the assessment/study is to provide recreation research, trends, and recommendations for the town's future development and playground plans for these parks. Upon completion of the study, DPR will have community input and research supported data to best determine future improvements and renovations. The study will allow DPR to develop a longer-term and sustainable maintenance program for the two parks as part of the improvements and renovation planning. Drawing on existing research, the proposed study will also assess trends in parks, playgrounds, programming, and facilities.

We invite you to participate in a short survey about the current Durham Parks & Recreation parks, facilities, and programs. By completing this survey, you will be providing valuable information that will allow DPR to make informed management decisions that enhance and preserve the parks, facilities, and programs that you love and value!
