Appendix 8 London Borough of Haringey’s Park User Survey

Extract from 2013 Park User Survey – London Borough of Haringey

Throughout January 2013 people were invited to tell us what they thought of the borough’s parks and open spaces. 833 responses were received, with over 80% of respondents telling us they used a Haringey managed park, an increase of 10% since 2009.

Headline results reveal that:

 70% of respondents felt the condition of their local park was either the same or better than it was before the budget reductions happened in 2011

 88% of respondents either feel safe or very safe when they use their local park

 Finsbury Park was the park that received the most responses followed equally by Downhill’s Park, Priory Park and Albert Road Recreation Ground

 People are using the parks less to relax and more for family outings, playing with friends and to observe wildlife

 four times as many people said they were volunteering on projects in parks

 The frequency and time when people used the park remained broadly the same

 People felt that the facilities within the park were either Good or Fair

Individual park results have now been fed into management plans and will inform any future improvements.
