Most importantly, as a resident-driven park district, much of the planning is based on input from our residents and customers obtained through the formal Citizen Interest and Opinion Survey. The most recent survey was conducted by ETC Institute, an independent company that specializes in asking park district residents for opinions of leisure services in their community. The statistically-valid survey data is a comprehensive audit of residents’ views of District programs, facilities and services. After analyzing the results, District officials and staff develop this Comprehensive Master Plan to establish priorities that will guide the future of parks and recreation in the community. Schaumburg Park District acknowledges and thanks all individuals involved in this process. 1.2 COMMISSIONERS, COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVES, COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES AND STAFF I.

The plan identifies the goals the District will strive to achieve over the next three to five years. In order to better identify and track those goals, the plan is divided by major areas of District operations. Staff develop the plan in a three-step approach: 1) Evaluate existing conditions throughout the District. 2) Identify important patron/citizen attitudes and interests concerning the direction of the District through the formal Community Interest and Opinion Survey. 3) Create a three to five year strategic plan reflecting patrons, stakeholders, and staff’s vision for park and recreation services in Schaumburg. This plan forms the basis for the District’s annual goal setting and prioritizing. 1.4 GOALS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN (CMP) • Conduct a comprehensive environmental evaluation and analyze collected data, including but not limited to, a demographic profile, SWOT analysis, benchmarking, internal and external influences and trends. • Conduct a complete inventory and assessment of the District to obtain a full understanding of existing conditions. • Provide a variety of meaningful resident and community involvement opportunities throughout the plan. • Obtain quantitative and qualitative citizen input regarding District operations, services and priorities. • Align the District’s mission, vision and values to reflect the information gathered from above. • Establish District goals and initiatives that reflect the future priorities of the District. • Develop strategies through measurable annual objectives to fulfill the mission and vision of the District as well as to maintain its values. 6 SECTION 2.0 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This plan has been developed using a three-step approach: 1) Gain a full understanding of the District’s existing conditions. 2) Identify important patron/citizen attitudes and interests concerning the direction of the District. 3) Create a three to five year strategic plan reflecting patrons, stakeholders, and staff’s vision for park and recreation services in Schaumburg. From the information gathered from this approach, detailed analysis was then developed for each major section of the District – recreational programming, parks, operations, etc. The analysis included procedures like SWOT analysis and trends. From this, long-term (three to five year) initiatives were developed based on four main themes: 1) Customer Satisfaction – Provide first class programs, services and facilities 2) Financial Sustainability – Optimize and leverage financial resources 3) Operational Excellence – Achieve operational and environmental excellence 4) Employee Growth and Development – Foster a motivated and accountable team culture These initiatives, and others within each section, were developed using a standardized method as shown by the table of contents for each section. All initiatives created from the plan will be used to develop annual detailed, measurable goals by department. 7 SECTION 3.0 - COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS 3.1 PARK DISTRICT BOUNDARIES a) The Park District includes the majority of the Village of Schaumburg and parts of
