Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment Survey Executive Summary Report
Overview of the Methodology
Leisure Vision conducted a Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment Survey between August and
September of 2013 to help establish usage and satisfaction for current parks and facilities and to
determine priorities for the future development of parks and recreation facilities, programs and
services within the City of Alexandria Parks and Recreation Department. The survey was
designed to obtain statistically valid results from households throughout the City of Alexandria.
The survey was administered by mail and by phone.
Leisure Vision worked extensively with City of Alexandria officials in the development of the
survey questionnaire. This work allowed the survey to be tailored to issues of strategic
importance to effectively plan the future system.
A five-page survey was mailed to a random sample of 5000 households within the City of
Alexandria Parks and Recreation boundaries. Approximately three days after the surveys were
mailed each household that received a survey also received an automated voice message
encouraging them to complete the survey. In addition, about two weeks after the surveys were
mailed Leisure Vision began contacting households by phone. Those who had indicated they had
not returned the survey were given the option of completing it by phone.
The goal was to obtain a total of at least 600 completed surveys. ETC/Leisure Vision went above
and beyond that goal to reach a total of 850 surveys completed. The results of the random
sample of 850 households have a 95% level of confidence with a precision rate of at least
+/-3.3%. The return rate was 17%.
The following pages summarize major survey findings.

Benchmarks
City of Alexandria Parks and Recreation Benchmarks 1
National Benchmarking
Since 1998, Leisure Vision (a division of ETC Institute) has conducted household surveys for needs
assessments, feasibility studies, customer satisfaction, fees and charges comparisons, and other parks
and recreation issues in more than 700 communities in over 45 states across the country.
The results of these surveys has provided an unparalleled data base of information to compare responses
from household residents in client communities to “National Averages” and therefore provide a unique
tool to “assist organizations in better decision making.”
Communities within the data base include a full-range of municipal and county governments from 20,000
in population through over 1 million in population. They include communities in warm weather climates
and cold weather climates, mature communities and some of the fastest growing cities and counties in the
country.
“National Averages” have been developed for numerous strategically important parks and recreation
planning and management issues including: customer satisfaction and usage of parks and programs;
methods for receiving marketing information; reasons that prevent members of households from using
parks and recreation facilities more often; priority recreation programs, parks, facilities and trails to
improve or develop; priority programming spaces to have in planned community centers and aquatic
facilities; potential attendance for planned indoor community centers and outdoor aquatic centers; etc.
To keep the benchmarking data base current with changing trends, Leisure Vision’s benchmarking
data base is updated on an annual basis and we only use citizen survey results going back a maximum of
five years in our current benchmarking averages.
Results from household responses for the City of Alexandria were compared to National
Benchmarks as well as the results from the 2011 City of Alexandria Parks and Recreation survey to
gain further strategic information. A summary of all tabular comparisons are shown on pages 2-8.
Note: The benchmarking data contained in this report is protected intellectual property. Any
reproduction of the benchmarking information in this report by persons or organizations not
directly affiliated with the City of Alexandria is not authorized without written consent from

City of Alexandria: Weighted Data
Methodology
The process of weighting involves emphasizing the contribution of some aspects of a set of data to a final effect or
result, giving them more weight in the analysis. That is, rather than each variable in the data contributing equally
to the final result, some data are adjusted to contribute more than others. ETC Institute used weighting for
allowance or adjustment of the race and ethnicity demographic data in order to take account of the specific
demographics from the US census data in a the City of Alexandria.
The following is a table shows the percentage of respondents in Alexandria based on the (1) US Census, (2)
Un-weighted Data and (3) Weighted Data.
