The last time the Arlington Parks & Recreation Department (APRD) asked for feedback about how its community members want to receive information, social media and mobile devices had not yet revolutionized our day-to-day lives.

The new APRD marketing team has developed a detailed survey to learn more about our customer base so that we can do a better job of keeping you informed about what is going on with the parks department. Your responses will help shape our strategies and objectives so that we can develop a plan for better serving you.

YOU CAN ACCESS THE SURVEY HERE: http://svy.mk/17kbIHA

To show our appreciation for your participation, we will be giving away hundreds of dollars'worth of prizes including: rounds of golf, pool and fitness memberships, mini camp registrations, free rentals and gift certificates. Every weekday from August 12-30 we will randomly select one entry to receive that day's prize. The sooner you take the survey, the more chances you have to win!

We believe that physical, social, economic and environmental viability and well-being are the foundation of a vibrant city. We are committed to providing quality parks, programs and facilities that are responsive to the needs of our diverse community.

It is for this reason that we wish to reconnect with our community. We want to learn about who you are, how satisfied you are with current services, and how we can better connect with you on a regular basis.

We appreciate your input as we seek to improve the way we connect with our community.
