Park User Surveys Update

Addison Park

 

We received a huge response from park users of Addison Howard Park and Bedford Park who recently completed our customer satisfaction surveys, with 412 responses for Addison Howard Park and 943 responses for Bedford Park.

  

Respondents were very positive about Addison Howard Park with 80% of people being either ‘very satisfied’ or ‘fairly satisfied’ with the park overall. 89% of people felt that the park has a positive impact on the local community, whilst 80% feel that the park improves their quality of life. Areas where users felt we now need to focus improvements on included car parking, maintenance of historic features, inclusion of café facilities and improvements to the toilet facilities. 

  

The results for Bedford Park were also really encouraging with 92% of people being either ‘very satisfied’ or ‘fairly satisfied’ with the park overall. 96% of people felt that the park has a positive impact on the local community and 93% feel that the park improves their quality of life. Areas which users felt we needed to now improve were better toilet facilities, additional street lighting in the park, improvements to wildlife areas e.g. the lake and more/better seating.   

  

This is really great feedback and reflects that the parks in Bedford are a really valued and loved resource within the community. A big thank you for all people who completed the surveys, it is so important that we know the areas which users feel we are doing well, and where people feel improvements can be made. All comments received will be reviewed and assist with guiding future management of the parks going forward.
