Introduction

Dear Harnett County Resident:

Your response to this survey is extremely important…
Harnett County Park and Recreation strives to meet the recreational needs of our community. In order to do this, we need to continuously assess those needs, understand how our community’s recreational needs are changing, and prioritize our citizen’s highest needs. The data from this survey will help guide future decision making on parks, greenway, nature preserves, recreation centers, and the types of programs we offer.

We appreciate your time…
We realize that this survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, but each question is important. The time you invest in completing this survey will aid Harnett County in taking a resident-driven approach to making decisions that will enrich the future of our community and positively affect the lives of its residents.


If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Carl Davis with Harnett County at cdavis@harnett.org. The survey is a tool that will benefit all residents. Please take this opportunity to let your voice be heard.

Sincerely,

Carl Davis, CPRP
Director
