The Crystal Recreation Department has launched a community-wide Recreation Needs Assessment Survey, giving participants of all ages the opportunity to help shape the future of local programming, events and services. The survey is designed to gather feedback on current recreation offerings, identify barriers that may prevent participation, and spark new community opportunities. Whether participants are frequent park users, partake occasionally or have never enrolled in a class, all feedback is welcome and will help ensure city resources are prioritized effectively.
