Needs Assessment
2024 Prince William County Department of Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment Survey
The survey showed that walking, hiking, and biking trails ranked as the top priority, when factoring in overall resident need for a particular park type, park amenity, or facility, with the importance they placed on said things. In addition, community special events ranked as top priority when factoring in overall resident need for a program, with the importance they placed on said programs. The survey, which is conducted every five years, assesses resident usage and demand for parks facilities, amenities, and programs.
