Aiken Parks, Rec and Tourism seeks input for updates to master plan

The City of Aiken Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department asks residential and business leaders to participate in an online community needs assessment survey with a focus on the quality of life in Aiken. The 10-minute survey is being conducted by Dr. Bob Brookover of Clemson University, Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management.

“This survey is very important to provide feedback from our citizens on recreational needs within our community. Information gathered will help us decide where to apply our resources as the City develops future budgets and capital improvement plans,” said Jessica Campbell, PRT Director, in a news release.

The survey will remain live and available for input until July 31, 2026. Only one survey per each household address. Visit https://www.cityofaikensc.gov/city-of-aiken-parks-recreation-tourism-master-plan/.  Computers are available for public use at the Lessie B. Price Aiken Senior & Youth Center.

The results of the survey will provide updates to the 2022 PRT Needs Assessment and Master Plan and guide city leaders in the planning of public parks and recreation over the years ahead. Data and recommendations will be presented to Aiken City Council and made available to the public at the conclusion of the process.
