PERFORMANCE
The Park District’s mission is: “In partnership with the community, we enrich lives by providing meaningful experiences through programs, parks, and facilities.” The measures below reflect our mission, measuring both the number of people served through the Park District’s programs, parks, and facilities, as well as customers’ satisfaction with their experiences.
Please note, as the charts and data are live, they may take a few moments to load!
The Park District defines the measurement as the total number of program and event registrations sold in the current year through the Park District’s recreation software, after any cancellations or refunds have been processed. This measure does not include participation in drop-in programs not requiring registration, including special events.
Who are the stakeholders impacted?
Program participants and staff
What does the data say?
An increase in 28% in program registrations from 2022 to 2023.
What is causing the data trend?While we did offer more programs in 2023, many were transitioned to more flexible drop-in options. This allows customers to pick and choose which dates within a session to attend. This approach resides primarily in the Active Adult Program.
