OPEN-ENDED COMMENTS METHODOLOGY & SELECTED FINDINGS INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to gather public feedback on Golden parks and recreation facilities, services, and programs. This survey research effort and subsequent analysis were designed to assist the City of Golden in updating their master plan regarding existing and possibly future enhancements, facilities, and services. METHODOLOGY The survey was conducted using two primary methods: 1) a postcard sent to a random sample of Golden residents (the “invitation sample”) inviting residents to complete the survey online or request a paper version of the survey; and 2) an open- link online survey for members of the public who were not part of the invitation sample. The analysis herein primarily focuses on responses from the statistically-valid invitation sample.

The primary list source used for the mailing was a registered voter list purchased from Jefferson County. Use of the registered voter list includes renters in the sample who are frequently missed in other list sources such as utility billing lists. METHODOLOGY A total of 4,000 postcards were mailed to a random sample of City of Golden residents in May 2016. After accounting for undeliverable addresses (121 total), 3,879 postcards were delivered and 363 responses were received, resulting in a response rate of 9.4 percent. The margin of error for the 363 statistically valid responses is approximately +/- 5.1 percentage points calculated for questions at 50% response. The open link survey received an additional 556 responses.

For the total invitation sample size of 363, margin of error is +/- 5.1 percent calculated for questions at 50% response (if the response for a particular question is “50%”—the standard way to generalize margin of error is to state the larger margin, which occurs for responses at 50%). Note that the margin of error is different for every single question response on the survey depending on the resultant sample sizes, proportion of responses, and number of answer categories for each question. Comparison of differences in the data between various segments, therefore, should take into consideration these factors. As a general comment, it is sometimes more appropriate to focus attention on the general trends and patterns in the data rather than on the individual percentages. WEIGHTING THE DATA The underlying data were weighted by age to ensure appropriate representation of City of Golden residents across different demographic cohorts in the sample. Using the U.S. Census Bureau 2014 American Community Survey 5-year estimates, the age distribution within the invitation sample was matched to the 2014 demographic profile of the City of Golden.

Due to variable response rates by some segments of the population, the underlying results, while weighted to best match the overall demographics of residents, may not be completely representative of some sub-groups of the population. SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINDINGS

• Comparisons Between Invitation and Open Link Responses. As noted above, all survey responses were tabulated and reviewed. The primary focus of this report is on Invitation responses, but because the two sets of data are generally similar, the responses by survey version (Invitation or Open Link) are mentioned when particularly relevant.

• Familiarity with Current Facilities is Fairly Strong. Invitation sample respondents indicated relatively high familiarity with current Golden parks and recreation offerings, with 68 percent reporting that they are familiar.

• Open Space, Trails/Pathways, Parks, & the Community Center are Highly Important, Best Meet Needs, and are Most Frequently Used. Over three-quarters of invitation sample respondents identified trails and pathways, open space/natural areas, community/ neighborhood parks, and the Golden Community Center as important. Similarly, at least 75 percent of respondents said these amenities are meeting the needs of Golden well. Perhaps unsurprising as these amenities are important to most households and are adequately meeting community needs, they are also the top four most frequently used facilities. Open link responses followed a similar pattern. SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINDINGS

• High “Needs-Met” Ratings for All Amenities. All of the listed facilities were rated to be meeting the needs of the City of Golden quite well by invitation respondents, with average needs met ratings of 3.5 or higher on a scale from 1 to 5 where 1 is “not at all” and 5 is “completely.” Open link respondents also provided high “needs-met” ratings for all of the listed facilities. This indicates strong satisfaction across the board with parks and recreation facilities operated by the City of Golden.

• Most Frequently Used Facility Used More than Once per Month. When asked to identify the frequency with which respondents use the facility they use most, a strong majority (88 percent) said they use the facility more than twelve times per year.

• Facilities are Close By; is Top Form of Transportation. A question asking respondents how they typically access the facility they use most frequently revealed that roughly three-quarters walk (73 percent), while 53 percent drive and 42 percent bike. Consistent with this finding, many respondents live close to the facility they use most, with over half (53 percent) a mile or less away and 89 percent within three miles. SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINDINGS

• Open Space and Trails/Pathways Top List of Future Priorities. Despite the high level of needs being met for both trails/pathways and open space, invitation sample respondents want to focus on these areas in the future, with 82 percent and 77 percent respectively identifying these as important needs to improve in the future. Open link respondents also selected trails/pathways and open space as the top two most important needs for the future.

• Future Facilities to Add/Expand/Improve and to Benefit Health and Well-Being Very Similar. Invitation respondents identified their top three priorities to add, expand, or improve in Golden as well as their top three priorities to benefit the health and well- being of Golden residents. The overall prioritization of the facilities was the same in both cases, led by trail and pathway connections, open space/natural areas, and a new or updated community/recreation center/aquatic facilities. Interestingly, respondents were somewhat more likely to prioritize a new or updated community/recreation center/aquatic facilities to benefit health and well-being of Golden residents (57 percent) than to prioritize it be added, expanded, or improved in Golden (45 percent). SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINDINGS

• Support Varies for Funding Mechanisms to Preserve Historical Sites. A new dedicated lodging tax received the most support from invitation respondents to fund the preservation of historical sites (58 percent in support), followed by user fees (50 percent). In contrast, a new dedicated property tax was supported by only a small share of respondents (19 percent).

• Open Link Sample Differs Slightly due to Presence of Interest Groups, Different Demographic Profile. Throughout the results, the open link sample reveals a strong presence of interest groups, particularly users of the Bike Park – open link respondents had a much greater likelihood of rating the Bike Park as important (56 percent) compared to invitation respondents (36 percent), and were considerably more likely to identify it as their most frequently used facility (11 percent vs. 1 percent). Additionally, the open link sample was more representative of households with children, and respondents unsurprisingly rated child-friendly amenities like athletic fields and the Clear Creek Whitewater Park as more important. Nevertheless, in terms of overall priorities, open link responses were highly consistent with invitation responses. DEMOGRAPHICS DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE

The invitation sample skews somewhat female (63%). Over half of invitation respondent households earn $100,000 or more per year (54%). Three percent of invitation respondents identify themselves as being of Hispanic/Latino origin. RESIDENTIAL PROFILE

Two in five invitation respondents (42%) live with children at home, and an additional quarter are couples without children. Respondents have lived in the area for a fairly long time, with an average of 13.0 years. Roughly three-quarters of invitation respondents (77%) own their households. RESIDENTIAL PROFILE

All invitation respondents were known residents of the City of Golden. Open link respondents, however, were potentially facility users living outside of Golden and were therefore asked if they live in the City of Golden. Roughly a third (32%) of open link respondents live outside Golden. CURRENT FACILITIES FAMILIARITY WITH PARKS & RECREATION

Invitation respondents are generally highly familiar with Golden Parks and Recreation offerings, with 68% indicating that they are familiar and an average familiarity rating of 3.9 on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 is “not at all familiar” and 5 is “very familiar.” IMPORTANCE OF CURRENT FACILITIES

Open space/natural areas (95% rated as important), trails and pathways (94%), community/neighborhood parks (83%), and the Golden Community Center (77%) were rated as the most important facilities among invitation respondents. IMPORTANCE OF CURRENT FACILITIES

Open link respondents provided very similar importance ratings for all of the listed facilities, with the exception of higher ratings for Clear Creek Whitewater Park, Golden Bike Park, and athletic fields. This is likely due to the strong presence of family households and interest groups in the open link sample. DEGREE TO WHICH CURRENT FACILITIES MEET GOLDEN’S NEEDS Invitation respondents indicated that all Golden facilities are generally meeting community needs well, with average ratings of 3.5 and higher on a 1 to 5 scale where 1 is “not at all” and 5 is “completely.” Open space/natural areas topped the list, with 86% of respondents indicating Golden’s needs are met. DEGREE TO WHICH CURRENT FACILITIES MEET GOLDEN’S NEEDS Open link respondents provided slightly lower needs-met ratings for most of the facilities on average; however, differences in average ratings between the two samples were quite marginal. IMPORTANCE-PERFORMANCE MATRIX

High Importance/ High Importance/ Low Needs Met High Needs Met These are key areas for potential These amenities are important to most improvements.

Future discussions evaluating participation when planning for future whether the resources supporting these improvements may prove to be valuable. facilities outweigh the benefits may be constructive. Low Importance/ Low Importance/ Low Needs Met High Needs Met IMPORTANCE-PERFORMANCE MATRIX MOST FREQUENTLY USED FACILITY

Over a third of invitation respondents said they use trails and pathways most frequently (36%), followed by the Golden Community Center (22%), open space/natural areas, and community/neighborhood parks (each 14%). Open link respondents were particularly likely to choose the Golden Bike Park (11%). MOST FREQUENTLY USED FACILITY

The most frequently used facility among invitation respondents varied considerably by age. Older respondents were more likely to select the Golden Community Center as their most frequently used facility, while younger respondents more commonly use open space/natural areas. MOST FREQUENTLY USED FACILITY

Responses also differed by the presence of children in the household. Those living with children at home more often identified the Golden Community Center and community/neighborhood parks as their most- used facility, while respondents without kids more frequently chose open space/natural areas. MOST FREQUENTLY USED FACILITY

Invitation respondents use their most frequently used facility quite often, with 88% indicating that they use it more than 12 times per year. A strong majority (89%) live within 3 miles of this facility, and therefore many typically walk (73%) or bike (42%) to access the facility. SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE AMENITIES

Respondents were offered an opportunity to suggest how any of the amenities listed could be improved to better meet the needs of the City of Golden. Frequently mentioned amenities to be improved among invitation respondents included trails, programs, open space, the recreation center, and enforcement of dog laws. A selection of verbatim responses is shown below. The full listing of responses is provided in the appendix.

FUTURE FACILITIES, AMENITIES, & SERVICES IMPORTANCE OF FUTURE FACILITIES

When asked to rate the importance of adding, expanding, or improving eight facilities in Golden, invitation respondents provided the highest ratings for open space/natural areas (82% rated as important) and trail and pathway connections (77%). IMPORTANCE OF FUTURE FACILITIES

Ratings again were highly similar between the invitation and open link samples; however, open link respondents provided higher average importance ratings for trail and pathway connections and other indoor or outdoor facilities. TOP PRIORITIES TO ADD, EXPAND, OR IMPROVE

Invitation respondents indicated that trail and pathway connections (74% selected as their first, second, or third priority) and open space/natural areas (72%) are by far their top priorities in terms of amenities to be added, expanded, or improved in Golden. TOP PRIORITIES TO ADD, EXPAND, OR IMPROVE

Responses by sample were again very similar. Open link respondents selected trail and pathway connections and other indoor or outdoor facilities as top priorities slightly more frequently than invitation respondents did. TOP PRIORITIES TO ADD, EXPAND, OR IMPROVE

Younger respondents placed greater priority on trail and pathway connections, open space/natural areas, and new parks. In contrast, older respondents were more likely to choose cultural facilities as a top priority. TOP PRIORITIES TO ADD, EXPAND, OR IMPROVE

Respondents living with children at home more frequently prioritized a new or updated community/ recreation center/aquatic facilities, improved park amenities, and athletic fields, while those without children more often chose trail/pathway connections, open space/natural areas, and cultural facilities. TOP PRIORITIES TO BENEFIT HEALTH/WELL-BEING

When asked to prioritize the same facilities based on the degree to which they benefit the health and well-being of Golden residents, similar patterns emerged. Interestingly, a new or updated community/ recreation center or aquatic facilities was a higher priority here (57%) than in the prior question (45%). TOP PRIORITIES TO BENEFIT HEALTH/WELL-BEING

Invitation and open link responses were again highly similar; however, invitation respondents were placed greater emphasis on a new or updated community/recreation center or aquatic facilities as a priority than open link respondents did. ADDITIONAL FACILITIES OR PROGRAMS TO ADD, EXPAND, OR IMPROVE Respondents were provided with the opportunity to identify up to three additional facilities that they feel should be added, expanded, or improved in a follow-up open-ended comment question. The top amenity mentioned in the comments for both samples was off-leash dog areas or a dog park. COMMENTS ON FUTURE PRIORITIES

Respondents were offered an opportunity to further explain their selected priorities. Many invitation respondents reiterated their desire for additional trails/pathways, open space/natural areas, and off- leash dog areas. Some also expressed concerns of overcrowding and congestion and parking issues due to facility usage by non-residents and tourists. A selection of verbatim responses is shown below. The full listing of responses is provided in the appendix.

The amenities in Golden are outstanding: It would be amazing to have an off-leash the key will be to keep all of them in dog park, but my comments from earlier good condition in future. would echo here as well. I'd be grateful to have one, however, I don't see people being responsible enough to clean up after their pets without some sort of code enforcement patrolling the grounds. FACTORS THAT WOULD INCREASE USAGE

Invitation respondents indicated that, if addressed, the top areas that would increase their usage of parks and recreation offerings are awareness of programs, additional programs and events (each 35%), condition/maintenance of parks or facilities, or additional facilities and amenities (each 34%). RELATIONSHIP TO HEALTH/WELL-BEING

Almost all invitation respondents said that they feel that access to recreational facilities has a direct positive impact on their health and well-being (96%), with 1% saying “no” and 3% uncertain. COMMENTS ON RELATIONSHIP TO HEALTH/ WELL-BEING Comments on the relationship between recreational facilities and health and well-being were overwhelmingly positive, with many invitation respondents citing specific facilities that help keep them healthy and others thanking Golden for all that it does. A selection of verbatim responses is shown below. The full listing of responses is provided in the appendix.

ALLOCATION OF $100

When asked to allocate $100 towards various parks and recreation offerings, invitation respondents allocated the most towards increasing trail and pathway connectivity ($21 on average), followed by a new/updated community/recreation center or aquatic facilities ($19). ALLOCATION OF $100

Younger respondents allocated more on average towards developing new parks, while older respondents put more money towards preserving historic and cultural assets and expanding programs and activities. ALLOCATION OF $100

Those with children allocated higher average amounts towards a new/updated community center/aquatic facilities and adding outdoor athletic fields/courts. Meanwhile, respondents without kids allocated more to increasing trail/pathway connectivity, preserving historic/cultural assets, and other enhancements. FINANCIAL CHOICES/FEES FUNDING TO PRESERVE HISTORICAL SITES

Invitation respondents were most supportive of a new dedicated lodging tax (58% in support) and user fees (50%). A new dedicated sales tax, general property tax, and new dedicated property tax received considerably less support, with larger shares providing 1 or 2 ratings than 4 or 5 ratings. OPEN-ENDED COMMENTS ADDITIONAL COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS

At the end of the survey, respondents were given the opportunity to provide any additional comments or suggestions for Golden Parks and Recreation. Several invitation respondents expressed their opposition to increased or new taxes, proposing alternatives like user fees and non-resident fees. Themes that came up consistently throughout the survey were also prominent in the comments, like improving/maintaining existing facilities and adding amenities like off-leash dog areas. Many respondents also took the opportunity to praise the efforts of the department. A selection of verbatim responses is shown below. The full listing of responses is provided in the appendix.

By and large, I think Historical sites are tough. People like & they are well use them, but are reluctant to pay (and planned and Don't raise want value).

Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation Under 25 No Better pools. Always have a lot of events and festivit ies available for Christmas time. Music at the events in Golden of all genres that cater to all people. (Rock, Pop, Jazz, Country, etc) I think the tennis courts also need to be improved as the nets and floor of the court is very old and run down looking. I also believe that children would benefit from a playground being built near the Parfet Park. Invitation Under 25 No Enforcing trai l closures when they are very wet by putting out large blockades at trail heads would help preserve them so they are in better shape for prime riding season over the summer. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Ask events during Christmastime in December to park in the overflow parking. It's really hard to park at the Community Center in December. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes I really wish that all of our parks had the rubber matting ground under the play equipment rather than wood chips or rock. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Keep access to the open space / pathway between 414 N ford and 500 N Ford. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Make one side of Clear Creek trail closed to bikes. New raised bike lane on Heritage Road is dangerous. Bike lanes should be same elevation as roadway for safety and increased maintainability (sweeping of road surface). Look to bike friendly cities such as Washington D.C. for additional design ideas. Swimming pool at rec. center needs to be better maintained (cleanliness of water and pool surfaces) Invitat ion 25 - 34 Yes Please have longer hours for the Community Center on the weekends in the evening! Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Sidewalks along Ford street could be improved. We could walk much more if they were wider. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Swings missing in t he Golden Heights Park. Invitation 25 - 34 No Allow dogs off leash with permit like in Boulder. Invitation 25 - 34 No Be more affordable. Or offer monthly payment options for annual memberships. Invitation 25 - 34 No Better mountain bike trails up the w est side of South Table Mountain Invitation 25 - 34 No I would love to see trail maps on metal signs in the path way, to at least let you know where you are going or what your options are at a trail intersection. I propose in the trails vs. the big gaudy signs that liter up the trail heads on JeffCo trails.

4 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation 25 - 34 No I'm really tired of being the only one who picks up their dog's poop. I'd really love to see code enforcement out between 3-6pm when most of the dog walkers are walking their dogs after work (later in the summer heat). It's disgusting how poorly our Golden owners pick up after their pets (we live over by the Jeffco Fairgrounds). We're really grateful for all the bag stations that were installed, but people aren't using them. Time and time again while we're walking our dog do we see other owners watch their dog defecate and just keep walking. They'll even look around to see if anyone is watching them- because most of the people we see on our walks can't be bothered. It leaves feces everywhere and that's not up to the Golden land management to clean up (I don't want my tax dollars going towards picking up after someone else's mess). I think stiffer enforcement including ticketing is required in our spaces where we allow our pets. I would give a hug to any code enforcement officer if I ever saw one at our parks, but in 6 years of living here we've never once seen our local parks being patrolled. You've done all you can to make it easy for people- now it's on the people to act responsibly and take care of the space they are given as a privilege to walk their pets in. Please do something and put your foot down to this disgusting and embarrassing behavior!! Invitation 25 - 34 No It would be great to expand the Golden Bike Park to include more trail and another pump track. Invitation 25 - 34 No Make sure all drinking water fountains are working. Provide enough grills, picnic tables and benches in local parks and scenic pathways. Make sure the public is aware of the 'etiquette code'. Perhaps it would be a good idea to include a 'swimming' section at the beginning of Clear Creek White Water Park. Invitation 25 - 34 No More attention could be paid to climber trails as well as the erosion around the clear creek path where visitors walk down on Highway 6 to the path. Invitation 25 - 34 No South Table's Lubahn trail could use a lil' work. Invitation 25 - 34 No The road on 4th avenue accessing Golden Heights park is usually riddled with potholes. They get filled and start reforming within a couple months. There seems to be a drainage issue on this street. Invitation 25 - 34 No Yes! We LOVE the trails in the Golden area but with the influx of new residents moving to the Denver area, trails are ridiculously crowded on the weekends, to the point of which we just avoid going to them then. We need more trails in open space. Also, the dog parks offered by the city are poor at best. Basically just small, fenced in dirt areas where you can't actually get a walk in. We would be so happy if the city adopted a sight and sound tag program as is offered in Boulder. Either that or at least offer one trail in the area where dogs can be off leash without fearing a ticket. We have heard this same complaint from many other dog owners in the community and would love it if Golden was more dog friendly! Invitation 35 - 44 Yes anything we can do about all the geese in the parks? Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Bring the batting cages back! There are no batting cages anywhere close to here. How is a skate park going to bring in any money for the city? All it's

5 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities going to bring is teenage trouble! And stop locking up the baseball fields. Now we have no place to practice. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes City sponsored sports for kids Invitation 35 - 44 Yes expand bike path to the north of north table mountain to connect to path that goes around Arvada resevoir Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Get rid of RV park. Prime piece of land benefitting very few people. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Golden needs basketball courts in neighborho od parks. Community center needs to remember the word community. In the opinion of our household, current philosophy seems to be gears toward making it health club for adults. Children's programs such as dance are very important and those resources seem to be allocated more towards adult programs. There has to be a balance and we don't think it is there right now Splash parks needs way more shade. It is tough environment up there with wind and no shade.. In our opinion, pour choice of location Invitati on 35 - 44 Yes have an outdoor pool or splash pad that is not part of Splash Invitation 35 - 44 Yes I have children aged 4 and 7 and we really enjoy the neighborhood parks. They each have their own feel which is cool. It maybe time to revamp Lions Park with new tables, amenities, etc...Maybe consider some kind of water feature at the park for kids, a pemenant restroom and water fountains. It is the 'Go to Park' in Golden, I understand the visitation is hard to keep up with but it should be updated since it is utilized so much. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes I love Golden and see continued improvements. Perhaps better (electronic) ways of communicating the various offerings. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes I wish the rec center had a bigger/better indoor play area for kids , like the tree house at Apex rec center. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes I would like to see more bike paths and walking paths. When there is construction or they are closed it seems like they are closed FOREVER! Parks need more exciting equipment. I am always excited when a park is renovated, but usually disappointed afterwards because it is not as exciting as I was hoping for (i.e., Dinosaur park off of Illinois is an absolute joke for a park. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Improved/upgraded equipment for the group fitness rooms. Larger dance studio with mirrors. More traditional yoga room (darker, no mirrors). Invitation 35 - 44 Yes more programs for toddlers at the rec center on weekends so working parents can avail their children of those opportunities. more shade /covers at playgrounds to provide sun protection Invitation 35 - 44 Yes More young kids programs! Invitation 35 - 44 Yes No � Invitation 35 - 44 Yes none. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Obviously the amount of people visiting the creek in the summer has diminished the experience for residents. I would suggest additional policing, and possibly pay for parking to discourage people from coming. I also think Splash would be great, but it's completely ruined by all of the Denver camps busing their kids here. It's to point where I won't even visit, and in fact, have joined a private pool because the experience is so bad at Splash.

6 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitat ion 35 - 44 Yes Snack bar coffee stand for rec center and Lions Park users Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Upgraded playgrounds, cleaner bathroom facilities at public parks, community sports equipment at parks, fresh water provided. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes We got sited for having our dog off leash. We have one off -leash area for dogs on the south size of Golden. South Ridge Park has lots of room for a fenced in area to let dogs roam freely and allow me to throw the ball for my ball-crazy dog. I would like to see another off leash dog park. Other wise, we love the park! Invitation 35 - 44 Yes we love the pool at the community center but it does seem like it could use some updates to the water features that are rusting. I would also love to see some more trails that are unpaved gravel, like the trail going up the clear creek canyon into that park (west of highway 6). Concrete paths are hard on the runner's knees! Invitation 35 - 44 Yes We need a larger indoor pool. At times the pool seems to be so full as to be dangerous for participants. Invitation 35 - 44 No Add more cross walks to more easily access pathways; create bike lanes; sound barrier wall on Highway 58; bike path up Clear Creek Canyon; water fountains at White Ranch; Invitation 35 - 44 No Educate peop le on the importance of LEAVE NO TRACE. I wish there was a way to make people pick up their dog poo and hike out the poo-bags and their trash. As more people have moved here there is less respect for the trails. Also, I wish the rec center offered more early morning classes included in the price of general admittance. Invitation 35 - 44 No Expansion of Golden Bike Park (similar to Valmont bike park in Boulder), expand the pathways and provide more off-road ways for better protection from traffic, gain more land for open space and do not allow this space to be re-purposed for business. Invitation 35 - 44 No Green tag program (like Boulder) so dogs can be off leash in designated areas. Invitation 35 - 44 No I hope the city keeps its open spaces an d trails. They add a lot to the city, and I would rather see the addition of more open space and parks rather than the development of more apartment complexes. Invitation 35 - 44 No I would like to see the private in -holdings on south table secured by th e city of golden. Preserving these iconic buttes is very important to the character of golden and it's ease of access for recreationalists. Invitation 35 - 44 No Just keep up the good work and recruit volunteers whenever possible. Invitation 35 - 44 No The open spaces and access to trails from our door was the primary reason we chose to live in Golden. We love the access to the open spaces. Invitation 35 - 44 No The paths and trails should be a mandatory On Leash area. Too many people are walking their dogs off leash. It causes problems with others that are walking on leash or riding bicycles or families with kids that don't necessarily want to encounter a strange dog. Invitation 55 - 64 Yes 1. shuttle bus access!!! to Apex, Table Mountain, White Ranc h trailheads. Even Golden Gate State park... 2. Bike map for trails around Golden (not the horribly dense essentially unusable Denver bike map) Invitation 55 - 64 Yes Food Trucks

7 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation 55 - 64 Yes I would be nice to have racquetball courts at the Golden Community Center. Invitation 55 - 64 Yes Keep creating more when possible. Invitation 55 - 64 Yes Stricter laws regarding people not picking up after their dogs. I have a dog that I walk at least once a day completely around Ulysses Park and it sickens me to see huge mounds of dog poop. Some dog owners are very very ignorant. Invitation 55 - 64 No chimney gulch meets needs altho weekends can be busy with added hikers and bicyclers. Mt. Galbraith can be very busy on weekdays. how about more hiking trails? Invitation 55 - 64 No Enforce the NO SMOKING rules. Too many cigarette and pot smokers on the trail. Too much dog waste on the paths. Rude fast bike riders. Have the rangers patrol alone, not in pairs. They would see more violations that way. I have not had any success asking smokers to quit, as the has Mayor suggested! Maybe that is why the rangers patrol in pairs (fear). It would also be appropriate to occasionally see a Police presence on the trails. Maybe a bike patrol. Good exercise for their stressful jobs. Invitation 55 - 64 No I personally think that the City of Golden should build another Community Center to better serve the citizens of Golden. I also believe that with all of the people moving & visiting the city that you can never have to may bike paths, trails and open space. Invitation 55 - 64 No I'm interested in seeing how the Astor House can be integrated into the historical/cultural experience of Golden. Invitation 55 - 64 No Larger sidewalks and less dogs Invitation 55 - 64 No Larger water park for summertime Invitation 55 - 64 No Make bike trail and walking trail separate at Clear Creek. Have alternating bike and walking days on Chimney Gulch. Have a better dog park, maybe one at park in Beverly Heights. Have a big open space dog park like the Evergreen dog park. That would bring a lot of people to Golden and I guarantee it would be very popular with Golden residents. Invitation 55 - 64 No Maybe some additional canopy's Invitation 55 - 64 No More public seating for picni cs Invitation 55 - 64 No More Silver Sneakers classes; art experiences for all ages; become a 9Health Fair site Invitation 55 - 64 No More trails and pathways are always good. Continue to coordinate with Jeffco on construction of additional trails both within and at the periphery of the CoG. Invitation 55 - 64 No More workout equipment and enforced time limits on machines to meet high demand workout times in the weight room. Also, more lanes for adult lap swimmers. Invitation 55 - 64 No No Invitation 55 - 64 No No, the community center is great, we use it almost daily M -F for fitness. And I would prefer to see greater attention to open space/natural areas, specifically wildlife corridor protection and expansion.

8 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation 55 - 64 No privatize the g olf course, splash and rec center and save the tax payers a lot of money and collect taxes from the private companies who run them Invitation 55 - 64 No Provide more doggie poo bag stations and trash containers. Take more action regarding people not picking up after their animals and not keeping their animals on leashes! The white water park is a total disaster causing a total mess for the city and preventing long time residents from wanting to use that area!! Visitors leave tons of trash at the water park. Invitation 55 - 64 No Reduce parking - North Table Mesa is getting overcrowded. And restrict dogs. The dog shit is a huge problem. Bikes also tear up the trails. The mesa is being loved to death. Really sad. Invitation 55 - 64 No Signage to near by recreational facilities and trails. Invitation 55 - 64 No Splash is well maintained - keep up the good work! Invitation 55 - 64 No The adult athletics program needs work. The co -ed adult volleyball league has fallen apart after decades of participation - I feel it was a lack of promotion Invitation 55 - 64 No The City does a nice job of maintaining all public areas. Invitation 55 - 64 No The more open space trails the better! :) Also, bigger better dog park(s) Invitation 55 - 64 No The new flags tone sign at Ridge Road & Cressman to honor Barbara Foss is much too large for that tiny park. The sign should be about an eighth that size or be a plaque on the bench. It is too imposing for this little neighborhood. It looks absurd. Also, there was no need for three benches. I have not seen them used. Invitation 55 - 64 No The Splash has become a regional facility bringing bus loads of outsiders. Most Golden residents no longer swim at The Splash. Invitation 55 - 64 No We should be able to use the Lions Park softball fields on the weekends in the Summer Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes south table mountain is getting a lot of visitors to walk, bike,or walk, or ride there horses. City of Golden needs to add designated parking. People are not parking in designated areas. It's a matter time before someone gets hurt Invitation 65 - 74 No adding trees every year. Invitation 65 - 74 No allow reservations at neighborhood parks (e.g., Norman D.), especially for HOA picnics Invitation 65 - 74 No Bike lanes on F ord & 10th have created severe and dangerous traffic situations because Ford street was narrowed at Coors Porcelain building. Problem is intensified in the winter when road is not completely plowed. Invitation 65 - 74 No Clear trails of broken branches Invitation 65 - 74 No Educate dog owners to dispose of their poop bags. Why do they leave them on the sidewalk for someone else to pick up? Invitation 65 - 74 No Enforce the leash and dog droppings Invitation 65 - 74 No Golden is encouraging a few too ma ny out of town local area tourists. We avoid even trails on the weekends due to the congestion of people traveling here just for the day or part of a day. Local 'color' and beauty can be overused! Invitation 65 - 74 No It would be nice if the men's locker room and shower could be made larger.

9 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation 65 - 74 No More hiker only paths or more hiker only days. Invitation 65 - 74 No more signs for bikes to slow down, ride single file, walkers present. Invitation 65 - 74 No Move Clear Creek History park t o Goosetown and intelligently develop that land into retail space creating a mini river walk like San Antonio, TX. Also, I neither need or want a bunch of nannies the city. Less regulation, smarter government please! Invitation 65 - 74 No No. Invitation 65 - 74 No Not schedule as many tournaments so that individuals can play Invitation 65 - 74 No Rec Center is a 'friendly' size --- don't want something as large as the APEX Cntr. Invitation 65 - 74 No Restrict the number of picnic'er setting up t ents and gatherings around the creek. More and stringent enforcement of rules regading trespassing into close areas and dog poop clean-up Invitation 65 - 74 No Trail maintenance. Toilet facilities for us old folks. Invitation 65 - 74 No Trails - mile si gns are confusing. Do not know where miles begin and or end. Some do not seem accurate. Invitation 65 - 74 No Train the people in the Rec center desk to be pleasant and helpful. When asked questions tell them not to be snide. When someone calls in and asks that a written message be left on the board in the back by the time clock, that it actually gets put there in writing. Not everyone that works there has an assigned phone. The gal with the short gray and blonde hair is always nasty and moody. Invi tation 65 - 74 No We are very furtunate to have so many well -kept facilities. However, if traveling to them by car there are parking challenges. Invitation 65 - 74 No We need more swimming lanes for lap swimming. The Community Center is ok but it needs to be expanded to 10 lands or a separate pool for classes and diviing board. Lanes should not be shut down for kids or . The Splash is too busy to get a lane. It should be open at 5:00 on weekends for the laps and not shut down for the diving board/kids. We need a separate pool for the diving board and kids to swim. You have the room to expand to meet these needs. Invitation 65 - 74 No Would like to have a map of biking paths. Always out when I ask. Need to print more. Invitation 65 - 74 No Would love to see some Pickleball Courts in Golden. Fastest growing sport in the country. Have to go to Lakewood or Arvada to play. Invitation 75 or over No All are most satisfactory as is; however, new or additional, I would suggest skate board slopes, such as in Arvada. Invitation 75 or over No back off on the bicycle programs Invitation 75 or over No More Parking Invitation 75 or over No No suggestions Invitation 75 or over No Pickellbal???? Invitation 75 or over No Possibly through trail expans ion although my almost daily use hasn't explored all trails yet. They are fabulous! Also, more porta potties would be helpful. The current ones are well maintained. Thanks for that!

10 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation 75 or over No Spur on the enthusiasm for all the venues b y having special events to reward participants and perhaps use an hour of free swimming at the Splash facility as an award. Invitation 75 or over No The Astor House Museum should be restored. More shade trees should be planted in Lions Park north of the current line of trees. The 'water feature' (ditch) should not be put in to Lions Park Invitation 75 or over No The trails need better connections to surrounding regional trails. Bike trails have unpleasant gaps within the city, and some portions lack signage to help users find their way to the continuation of trail after a gap or at un- obvious intersections. In some heavy use areas (particularly along Clear Creek), separate bike and pedestrian trails are badly needed. Invitation 75 or over No Well done for my uses. Invitation 75 or over Every first and third Tuesday of each month I coordinate the Hands and Hearts Crochet Group and every Thursday I volunteer at the desk up at the Front Porch. They are doing a good job as is. Invitation 75 or over Make bicyclist adhere to ALL motor vehicle regulations! Bicyclist are not licensed and pay no fees, however they think laws do not apply to them and they OWN the road. Invitation A regular bus (city) that goes to North Washington Ave thru Ruby Dr - to the bus stop at 10th and Wash. I am disabled and in bad snow, this would help. This area has elem school/day care/many restaurants/ physiotherapy/ gas station/ food store/ dance studio. Invitation Continue to expand paths into south Golden, since they don't seem to have any. Explore opportunities for more flat dirt trails that meet walking pathways, like the one along the west end of Clear Creek under Hwy 6. This is a nice way for folks that are not comfortable using steep trails to have a less developed experience. Invitation Convert Fossil Trace golf course into open space with walking/running and biking trails so that it is a true community asset not just a place for a few people. Invitation Have sports leagues for kids rather tha n just classes. Invitation In general, Golden has great neighborhood parks. I personally think the Heritage Dells neighborhood park could use a little bit of a facelift relative to many of the other great parks in the area. Invitation More invol vement for youths, enlarged practice facilities, a short 3 par course for kids/families for play and for learning the game, involvemet with 1st Tee, larger inside dining area. Invitation more trails, more open space, bigger bike park like Valmont in b oulder. Invitation My only real concern is every time something is built or opened up, it gets completely overrun with people. (for example, Clear Creek and N Table Mesa). We should be looking at protecting - by NOT building so many parking lots and access points - trails and open space. Let's get people out on foot. We also have stacks of bicycle access and do not need more. Invitation no Invitation No

11 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation No, all good Invitation Regarding the Community Center. The pool and recreation facilities, in my opinion, should be used as a back up facility. Or 2nd, if they'd want to keep it. For instance, the one in Wheat Ridge, near Kipling and 45th, is much newer, and much nicer than the one in Golden. My experience with the cleanliness of the pool and shower areas at Golden, is that they are not clean. (Mold in bathrooms, (showers) and oily dirt around the pool steps, etc.) Just is not alluring because of that, and the fact that although they did some 'remodeling' a few yrs. back, it's not up to par with a new modern facility. Should be newer, bigger, and cleaner :) Invitation They are great! Love walking the dogs and using them to string together a bike ride! Invitation This page did not let me select the facility I used most. It would be trails and open space which I use 3-5 times a week. Generally access by walking or biking and less than 1 mile Invitation 45 – 54 Yes At the Golden Community Center, they have cancelled the Saturday babysitting services for families. This is not good. There are a lot of people who work during the week and would like to have babysitting during the weekend mornings so that they can work out, go to pottery, etc. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes auxillary parking & shuttles when lar ge meetings occur at the GCC. Some large meetings (ie Ball Corp) take all parking spaces in both upper & lower lots. Need to ask them to an auxillary lot with Shuttle or ask Ball to provide a shuttle from their office Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Better / Saf er transitions from on -street bike paths to tails and pathways. More crosswalks and paths should always intersect roadways at 90 deg so that users can look both ways for traffic Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Better bike path connections from north Golden to the Jacksons Street Safeway area. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Better trail drainage on South Table Mountain. Access to northeast trails on South table Mtn (owned by Coors) would be great if it could be worked out with Coors. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes exercise equipm ent at community center is wearing out and replacement should be considered Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Golden Library extend their hours Community center extend hours add more yoga/aerobic/meditation classes. Our family relies heavily on the local bus service. After the light rail station opened, the local bus service was reduced. The addition of the call n ride was good in theory, but the service is a joke. Their recorded message promises a return call within 2 hours. However, in my experience, we've called them more than a dozen times and NEVER received a return call. I've initiated a formal complaint to RTD regarding this problem. I never received a reply to my formal complaint. Its definitely a problem. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes I live at base of Sout h table - makes me sad to see people abusing open space- graffiti, trash, dog poo, etc. Rec center is now too small to serve community which has grown immensely- need more kid amenities- larger pool, etc...

12 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Increased singletrack to c onnect various trails together! Invitation 45 – 54 Yes manage the congestion in teh summer Invitation 45 – 54 Yes More trails Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Plow paths more often. DON'T plow the path at the bottom of the hill at White Ash Mine park. Don't water the grass so much in the summer, it is overkill. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Provide a membership option available to City residents only that provides reduced fees and preferred availability Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Provide more guidance to get folks actually into the center / town of Golden and visiting our eateries, breweries, and shops. Many people use Golden as a destination to launch, but may need some enticement to stay & peruse. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Swings in more of the neighborhood parks Invitation 45 – 54 Yes The community center, particularly the women's locker room is filthy!!! The facility does not feel safe!! The Community Center allows homeless to loiter all day! These men have been only warned about steeling. Entering the facility early in the morning does not feel safe! The HVAC system is in need of a complete overhaul. The air conditioning was stuck on while it was very cold outside, for 3 weeks. The weight room equipment is in need of repair and quite frankly needs to be updated. The hot tub is constantly not working. And every year the cost of my annual membership goes up! I question why would anyone continue to use this facility, other than the location is convenient!!!!!!! Invitation 45 – 54 Yes The pool cleanliness & clarit y is awful. I swim at three metro rec centers and our water is murky at best. Of these others one is salt and the other chlorine so it doesn't seem to be a technology issue. Overall the center is not well kept - it is often dirty and poorly maintained. The hot tub re-tile is shoddy (& ugly). I'd suggest having much higher standards - we seem to default to 'cheap' not ultimately the value of quality design and maintenance. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes There are not enough tennis courts. Most pools and activities at the community center are geared towards young kids. Teenagers need more things to do. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes try to make sure that the drinking fountains are working. Often, they are not. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes We have a wonderful city and thank you f or your efforts to improve it. Invitation 45 – 54 No 1. Fix hot tub at rec center so that the jets are stronger. 2. Keep the Splash open past Labor Day. 3. Invite public participation in park maintenance. I feel the Apex Park repair was mismanaged. Invitation 45 – 54 No 1. Place edging to hold in the gravel along the western Clear Creek Trail (west of the City's RV lot) to the end of the trail. It washes out quickly with nothing holding it in. 2. Complete the bike/hike/run path towards Idaho Springs. Invitation 45 – 54 No A trail from the East Side of North Table to the West - more trails in general - but love them all!!

13 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation 45 – 54 No As a proud resident of Golden, I have become increasingly disappointed (disgusted if you will) in the recent burst in 'sprawl' ... commercial facilities, multi unit housing facilities and some of these insane road projects ... I have to wonder who is responsible for the sudden acceptance to develop the hillsides and each and every nook of Golden - in other words, who's being 'funded' ... Golden used to have priorities of being a community ..... but now it's being led into becoming just another overdeveloped and overpopulated annex of Denver. Whatever. It is what it is I guess. I doubt we'll see the acquirement of more Open Space and parks .. but it's a nice smoke and mirrors show to make people think the Counsel still cares .. Invitation 45 – 54 No check drivers on Looktout Mtn Rd for use of marijuana - I ride Lookout Mtn daily and can often smell dope smoke from passing cars. Invitation 45 – 54 No Continue to install and connect the walking and biking trails through Golden. Connect them to the regional system, and continue to make bike lanes on city streets. Maintain neighborhood parks. The dog park on 8th St is heavily used - continue to support it. continue to support open space and natural areas in town. If the history parks bring in tourism dollars, great. Personally I don't make much use of them since I live here. Continue to support the clear creek park - it is a centerpiece of town. Invitation 45 – 54 No Fine people whose dogs are off leash or who don't clean up after their dogs. FINE them, not a warning. Invitation 45 – 54 No For the community/neighborhood parks, more lighting would be nice. The parks are very dark in the evening and at night so they are mostly unusable. Keeping the walks shoveled/plowed during/after snowstorms would also make them more accessible. Invitation 45 – 54 No I like the various loop options on the trails . It would be nice to use the golf course as a non golfer - maybe open it to runners, walkers on Saturdays from 5 - 8 in the mornings, when golfers wouldn't be using it. Fix the underpass under Ford st, along the river so it is more usable more of the year (it seems to always be closed from sitting water/ice; I understand certain times of the year, it's impassible, but not ALL the time). Underpass under 10th along Tucker gulch. Crosswalk at Illinois and 10th street, by tennis courts. Invitation 45 – 54 No I wish the batting cage was still at Ulysses field Invitation 45 – 54 No Institute a fee based parking system, (like they do in Boulder), along the high use areas downtown including along Clear Creak and Lyons park to promote free parking in the downtown lots/garages. This would have two outcomes. First, would promote people walking through town and spending money in local stores. Second, it would decrease congestion in those high use areas and increase city revenue. Also, institute a permit system for locals. The Community Center could needs to add more popular fitness classes. Get rid of the ones that no one attends and increase the popular ones. Invitation 45 – 54 No It would be great if the Community Center offered more times for spin classes (esp. the morning but not at 5am).

14 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Invitation 45 – 54 No Just adding more trails and not being so radical about the dog on leash policy when they are IN the water! Invitation 45 – 54 No More/improved connecting trails between JeffCo Open Space and city trails. More strong boot camp type classes and teachers at the Rec Center. More spin instructors available at Rec Center. Invitation 45 – 54 No No we enjoy all the amenities we use Invitation 45 – 54 No Notification to the public of the scheduling and availa bility of the large pool (e.g. for lap swimming) is horrible. Despite efforts taken to improve this, it has become clear to me that the only way to find out what availability is at any given moment is to directly call or walk into the lifeguard room and ask what is available. Planning in advance is a useless endeavor. Invitation 45 – 54 No offer more evening fitness classes; for those of us that work it is hard to make the daytime/early evening classes Invitation 45 – 54 No Please complete the proposed tr ail system up Clear Creek Canyon! Invitation 45 – 54 No Please keep the continued focus on walkability and rideability by maintaining and expanding the trails and pathways. **The open space and natural areas are important also as they provide real estate for the trails, habitat for the animals and maintains the unique Golden scenery. Invitation 45 – 54 No Put the pond back in Lions Park. Get more bicycles into the bike parks and get them OFF THE ROADS! Invitation 45 – 54 No Quit changing the natural f low of Clear Creek. It's practically un 'tube -able' now- what a loss!!! Invitation 45 – 54 No Some trails need to have better maintenance. Many are overgrown such as Zorro and Sleeping Elk Trail up South Table Mountain. This poses a more serious snake danger when you can't see where you are stepping or when the path is too narrow because it's overgrown with weeds. Invitation 45 – 54 No The locker rooms at the Rec Center are very dirty and run down. Even if clean, I suspect the locker rooms would look dirty because they are so run down and over-used. Invitation 45 – 54 No The trails are safe and well designed. Open Link Under 25 No More single track bike trails Open Link Under 25 No Overall, excellent little park. Has really helped me improve my j umping and cornering skills. A section to practice rock gardens or small/medium sized drops or other technical trail features would be pretty cool, but not sure where there would be space. Open Link Under 25 No We need the Golden Bike park to have more ch allenging lines as the current options are somewhat dissapointing Open Link 25 - 34 Yes Build more trails to accommodate the crazy population increase. I grew up in Golden and my family is lucky enough to call this area home for 5 generations. The recent increase in trail users has overloaded the open space available to us. We need new trails to spread out the user groups. I think we also need to have specific directional trail systems at Apex, Chimney Gultch and N Table. Conflicts are increasing and a move needs to be made. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes Community Garden could use a restroom facility that would be more convenient than walking to the Rec Center

15 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link 25 - 34 Yes Lions park really needs some upgrades. More swings. A separate play area for older children who take over the small children area. The park is too crowded, especially in the summer with large families from outside cities camping out all day. also for the price that the community center charges per person either daily or a season pass, the amenities need to improve. The pool area is too small for golden's population. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes Love the golden bike park! More facilities here, including kid -friendly, would be amazing. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes More enforcement of current rules . Trash/drinking/tagging along Lookout Mountain Road (our mountain park) is out of control. Little police enforcement. More miles of trails to reduce congestion and user conflict. Mountain bike only trails to offset hiker-only access. Closing trails to all users during muddy conditions. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes More trails and open space. More connectivity between open spaces Open Link 25 - 34 Yes updating in the pool area and at Splash Open Link 25 - 34 Yes We need a dedicated bike path to extend from Nor th Table Mountain Park to 58th Ave where the new develops are located. Biking down Highway 93 is really dangerous even with the wide shoulder. Open Link 25 - 34 No Additional trails. Dedicated bike access to reduce hiker / biker conflicts. Open Link 25 - 34 No better maps of the whole parks/open space/trails system. Open Link 25 - 34 No Continue to improve river features at the play park Open Link 25 - 34 No Flower and shrub beds are out -of -date and unimpressive for a tourist town with high average income Open Link 25 - 34 No hire a professional whitewater park designer to reshape the surf features. Open Link 25 - 34 No It would be nice to have days that are specific to mountain bikes. can bring a lot of revenue to Golden and the local businesses. It would be great to create mountain bike specific trails. Open Link 25 - 34 No Keep legal in Lyons, Parfet, Orchard Parks as well as North Table and along Clear Creek. Or you know, keep it legal everywhere. Open Link 25 - 34 No More programs! Open Link 25 - 34 No More trails Open Link 25 - 34 No Please keep as much space open as possible! The current growth of the city is a little alarming for the future of our parks, open space, and trail systems (which is why I fell in love with Golden in the first place). Open Link 25 - 34 No The city needs to be preserving trails/open spaces and natural areas and focus on weed management and trail maintenance. Open Link 25 - 34 No The rates at Fossil Trace are much higher than su rrounding courses for quality. I would suggest a little lower rate, especially for city employees. Open Link 25 - 34 No The white water park needs improvement instead of bandaids. The river needs to be cleaned out because it has a lot of dangerous wood in it. The features need to be structured properly function for kayaking and create a safer environment for tubers. The most recent work has made it more dangerous for tubers (recycling hole in the play park right now, poorly structured) and less functional for kayakers (uneven features and un- channeled water).

16 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link 25 - 34 No Tubers on the creek need to be controlled in the sense of safety gear and water levels. They have just as much right as any paddler or other recreationalist to be there but when the water levels become too unsafe the town needs to step in and put a ban on the creek. 2015 was a prime example. Tubers are easily the least educated on river safety and constantly put themselves into unsafe situations. In 2015 the town did not put a ban for tubers on the creek until almost 1,500cfs. The creek annually almost never even reaches that high! The town should have a set CFS level around 600cfs to ban all tubers from the creek, not just 'when they feel like it' (as I was told by one town representative last year). As someone who rents inner tubes for that creek and is on it almost every day in the Spring and Summer and have paddled it at all levels I feel I know enough about the whitewater park to be able to say this. This is especially true as tubing and tourists in our town become more and more popular. Open Link 25 - 34 No We need more directional trails on chimney and apex parks to alleviate congestion and trail user confrontations. Open Link 25 - 34 No Would love to see gravel installed alo ng the side of concrete paths for runners. Many runners end up running on the grass anyways. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes A connector, grade -seperate multi -use path up the highway 93 corridor from North Table Mountain access trailhead to connect to the Ralston Creek path (or whatever it is called) at highway 93 would be great! Could then do a big, safe, family big ride protected from traffic. Also, along the same lines, connect Golden to the new Clear Creek path that is being built inside the canyon. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Allow night use as there is no disruption to neighborhoods. Limit horse use and/or require them to clean up and help with trail maintenance. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Babysitting offered at rec center where you can be off site (running along trail etc.) Splash to have earlier hours. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Better upkeep of the features and more variety in terrain/features. BMX track would be nice Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Bike trails (Apex, Chimney, North Table, Etc.,) and access to open space are a huge part of why I live in Golden. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Both gymnastics and hockey are growing in popularity in the greater Denver area, it would be great if Golden had a plan for youth development opportunities. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Close the open spa ce trails when they are muddy to prevent damage. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Community center should offer discounts for preschool and classes offered at the center if a parent is employed there, because the pay for community center staff is so low. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Connect Apex park and Chimney gulch, on dirt above the neighborhood Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Expand and preserve open space and trails. So many people are moving to this area and we need to protect our natural areas. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Golde n Bike Park needs to be expanded with parking and nicer facilities. Please use the Valmont Bike Park in Boulder as an example. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes I enjoy around Chimney, North and South Table. Bad weather doesn't stop people (bikers) who rip up the trail when muddy. Potentially

17 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities adding in more erosion control and/or other surface material (gravel, etc) to mitigate further damage. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes I wish the river front clear creek area was longer. With more amenities. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes I'd like to see the BMX track built. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Improvements are needed where the trails cross major roads, especially at Washington and 93. Better trails going up the canyon along highway 58 to more easily access open space. A trail connecting along highway 93 moving North out of Golden to connect to regional trail systems. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes More local bike trails to connect city. Continue with bike trails. How about a bike only trail? Open Link 35 - 44 Yes More mountain bike tr ails. Consider more odd/even days or one way trails so I don't have to worry about fast bikers when ealing my dog or toddler. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes more multi -use facilities for the neighborhood parks (park benches, picnic tables, restrooms, natural features, activity spots) Open Link 35 - 44 Yes More opportunities for older children (8 -12 years). More kid -oriented bike trails/features in neighborhood parks - kid bike distance from homes. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes More outdoor pools. Splash is quite crowde d and Golden has no other outdoor pool options. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes More parking Open Link 35 - 44 Yes More paved bike trails, more bike access, better trail improvement. The old Apex has declined over the years. Add more mountain biking trails. Add more kid parks like the creek park. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes More swings, more parks with playgrounds Open Link 35 - 44 Yes more trails to spread out rapidly growing # of users, bike specific stails Open Link 35 - 44 Yes More trails, improve/ expand on bike park and create other 'skills areas,' for recreational riding, including connector trail between Apex and Chimney Gulch, as well as a short course mtb for high school and community events, etc. More trails between neighborhoods and schools. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Natural surface or singletrack trails connecting the neighborhoods and around town would be an amazing asset to our town. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Our household uses the Golden Bike Park several times a week. It would be great if the Golden Bike Park could be expanded to the open land to the north. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Please add a BMX race track, a cyclo -cross course, and more single track to Golden Bike Park. Thank you Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Put in a BMX track! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Som e of our playgrounds are outdated. Would be nice to have better shade, and more modern playground structures. Swings at all playgrounds would be wonderful. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Some of the parks could use a little updating - equipment - and more shade is always useful - shade near and on playground structures. Splash is a wonderful facility that I find virtually unusable during summer weekdays due to overcrowding - especially with field trips. We avoid it now which makes me so sad - it's only a mile away.

18 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link 35 - 44 Yes The community center should be based more on kid programs. For example the gym could be used for gymnastic classes (which is where I learned at the old rec 30+ yrs ago). Next, since people like to complain about having kids in the bathrooms, it would be very helpful if the family locker room size was increased. Also, dance classes should have priority in the (2) dance rooms and not be stuck in a back rooms. I also like to use the trails to walk and run on, the new trail system has been great (I have been running on the old sidewalks for 30+ yrs), but I feel that it gets overused by bicyclists. Since the city is using so much money for bike riders shouldn't they be using all these new designated lanes? Open Link 35 - 44 Yes The Plateau Pkwy/Peery Pkwy neighborhood needs a neighborhood park. Large amount of kids here and closest park is far to walk to. Recreation Center need better quantity & quality of program offerings for children & adults. See the Apex Center in Arvada for great examples. Why aren't kids swim lessons offered at Splash in the summer? This would be great! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes The swimming pool should be updated Open Link 35 - 44 Yes There are not enough trash cans along clear creek. There seem to be too many by the parking lot and not enough along the trail. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Trail closures when muddy just like Boulder County does. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Trails are terrific for accessing downtown, the GCC and other amenities. Better trail maps and online trip instructions on getting from point a to point b via trails would be helpful. Google maps will show ped and bike options but usually along streets which is not ideal with young kids. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Upgrade kids' swimming pool. Build additional therapy pool for water aerobics and arthritis therapy. Also, When GHS or other community groups have swim team practice, they should be able to have the entire pool for the entire time. Expand public lap swimming hours. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes We are thankful to have this resource in our community! Some ideas: More childcare hours. Coffee on premises. Continued fitness classes. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes We need a much broader mountain bike trail system. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes We need longer an d many more biking trails. Due to the number of people in the Golden area they are always crowded. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes We would love to have a cricket field in the community. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes With the population boom in the Front Range, Golden is feeling the pressure (particularly on the weekends), and JeffCo can only do so much. The trails provided by JeffCo are great, but Golden needs to step up and provide even more trails and pathways for the outdoor enthusiasts and their families who love to call Golden home. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Your outdoor activities and programs are great! We live in nearby Applewood and love coming in for the farmers markets, holiday lights, and outdoor movie nights downtown. Open Link 35 - 44 No As a kayaker, it is s ignificantly more difficult to use the whitewater park given the sharp increase in tubers. Other 'sport' users such as SUP are well acquainted with etiquette and taking turns, but the nature of tubers (experience level, non-steerability) make it difficult to yield to other users. Open Link 35 - 44 No Close the state boarders... Hahaha

19 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link 35 - 44 No Continue to maintain the trails year round. Open Link 35 - 44 No Could we please get some more features, trails, jumps, drops - similar to Valmont Bike Park in Boulder? https://bouldercolorado.gov/parks- rec/valmont-bike-park Open Link 35 - 44 No Don't allow full tents, picnic, grills, tables along the creek. People should not be allowed to 'own' a large section of the creek. Open Link 35 - 44 No I hav e grave concerns about the overuse of North Table Mountain and think we should switch that to rotating use days, like Centennial Cone. But I think that's JeffCo Open Space and not you guys. Open Link 35 - 44 No I'd like to see more trash cans around parti cularly in the canyon along clear creek. Additionally, I'd like to see some regulations for visitors who picnic along clear creek. Particularly in the summer, there is nothing but trash littering our creek. The crowds of people have gotten out of control and they contribute nothing (with the exception of their trash) to the City of Golden. Why does the entire state of Colorado regulate 'leave no trace' but the City of Golden? Food and drinks should not be allowed within 100 feet of the water. There should not be a picnic table inviting visitors to eat and drink and leave a mess only to pollute the creek. Can someone please remove the picnic table at White Water Park? Please work up a plan to keep our city just as beautiful in the summer as it is the other 3 seasons of the year. Open Link 35 - 44 No Improve management of multiple uses, in particular conflict between speeding bikers and walkers, joggers, children, animals, etc. Is a speed limit feasible for bikes? Speed bumps? Dedicated lanes? This is particularly an issue in the Kinney Run area. Open Link 35 - 44 No It would be nice to have some less -hilly bike paths and trails, for beginners. Open Link 35 - 44 No Keeping the skill level high for those that are skilled, but providing areas for 3-10 years of age children would be great for families and a skills progression approach. It could mean another area in town to cater to the kids on bikes. Open Link 35 - 44 No less development! Open Link 35 - 44 No Less Subaru ads while playing golf ... actually - th ere should be NO subaru ads. If you are paying to play Golf ... and paying for a cart, you shouldn't be prompted 8 times throughout the round that subaru has a presence on the course. The car parked between holes 1 and 10 is plenty. Oh - and the restaurant is in dire need of some fixings. Although it is hard for me to rate it lately since we quit going there years ago from horrible service and boring atmosphere. Open Link 35 - 44 No Love having the Rangers these days. Wish here were more ways to prom ote and encourage river safety with tubers. Open Link 35 - 44 No More connectivity with city trails, neighborhoods, and adjoining open space trail systems especially up Clear Creek. more variety of trail types (single track, gravel, and concrete). Separation of user conflicts in busy downtown areas, such as parallel but seperate bike and walking trails along clear creek from Vanover to US6.

20 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link 35 - 44 No More dog parks are needed. They don't require a lot of space or money to implement. Nearly every park should have some sort of fenced dog area. Just makes sense...less ticketing would occur I bet. Open Link 35 - 44 No more trails and more open space greatly enhance the value of the community Open Link 35 - 44 No Pie in the sky would be to add an o utdoor pool (including lanes for lap swim). It would also be great if the center were open until 10pm during the week. I would love to see a few more amenities in the locker room or in the pool, like a steam room. Open Link 35 - 44 No Please extend trail along Clear Creek further up highway 6. Open Link 35 - 44 No Splash - more lanes available in morning for adult lap swimming. More dog parks. (Nice work on the one on 8th though) Open Link 35 - 44 No The white water park could use some more features and could use a dredging once a year at the very least. It is one of the better parks in the front range. Open Link 35 - 44 No Trash cans at trailheads Open Link 35 - 44 No Would love if you build up South Table Mountain with hike and bike trails Open L ink 55 - 64 Yes Extend the paved bike trail from the North Table Mountain trailhead north to 58th street to allow connectivity to the many trails that go north and east from that point. Currently, cyclists are forced to ride SH-93 which is unsafe. Open L ink 55 - 64 Yes grow the open space trails into the canyon Open Link 55 - 64 Yes In general, I think all of the facilities do a very good job of meeting the needs of their targeted users. Open Link 55 - 64 Yes Love the chickens. Open Link 55 - 64 Yes Ne ed a larger warm water pool with a 4 foot depth. Cleaner locker rooms Open Link 55 - 64 Yes Please ticket loose dog owners in smaller parks. It ruins the park experience for those of us that walk our dog on a leash. I have to leave when they turn their dogs loose because my dog has been attacked 2x by loose dogs, and these owners usually can't control their dogs Open Link 55 - 64 No Better parking in Golden, seems lately they are taking it away or making it harder and harder to find parking Open Link 55 - 64 No Better snow removal. Open Link 55 - 64 No close down the river to tubers or at least charge a fee of some type/need more open swim pool hours/warmer pool/more clarity on times & what's available for the pool//stop with the bike paths! enough already Open Link 55 - 64 No Golden needs to be mindful of their sustainability practices. I was a business in Buffalo Bill Days last year and there was no recycling. I was really disappointed because that is what, in part, won us the hosting of the pro cycling race. Golden needs to keep in mind that it is a small town, with a limited amount of space. If we just saturate it with people without mindful sustainable practices, we are losing what makes Golden a great place to live. I live just outside the City of Golden, but I am still a Golden resident. Open Link 55 - 64 No Implement rules and regulations for the parks.

21 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link 55 - 64 No Invest in living history events, museums and the arts. Fix the Astor house. Keep our open space and trails in great shape so we can breathe in nature. Without these things, our souls wither and we become little better than caged animals. Open Link 55 - 64 No link trails more trails together Open Link 55 - 64 No Local outreach to user groups. Open Link 55 - 64 No locker room and showers in bad condition Open Link 55 - 64 No More lanes for adult lap swimming are needed at the Rec Center and Splash. It would also be great if the lap pool at Splash could be kept open beyond the end of August. Open Link 55 - 64 No more sign age to protect the trails Open Link 55 - 64 No Need more space for floor exercises, stretching. Open Link 55 - 64 No Permanently mount the TRX straps instead of making people check them out. On more well-traveled trails, put a yellow line down the middle to keep users on one side (at least on blind curves) and post signs that remind ALL trail users to keep to the right. Open Link 55 - 64 No Please protect open space as much as you can. When there is a choice to be made between a new facility and protecting wilderness, the wilderness should always come first. Development is irreversible, after all, and open spaces and wildlife are Colorado's greatest resource. Open Link 55 - 64 No Protected from developement Open Link 55 - 64 No Seems like Non - Golden r esidents are taking over the parks and picnic areas especially on the weekends during the summer. Not always respectful to our city and residents. Not sure how to improve this. Open Link 55 - 64 No The community center front desk staff does a great job! Give them all raises! Open Link 55 - 64 No The front desk personnel at the rec center frequently make errors checking us in for rec center visits. It has resulted in frequently being debited the wrong amount, sometimes to the rec center's detriment, sometimes to the user's. When this happens it is time- consuming and frustrating to correct. The staff are untrained or unfamiliar with how to use their computer system resulting in inconsistency in how the check-in process works. When we have been directed to 'take it up with Angela' it is a generally unpleasant interaction. Furthermore, the layout in the weigh area is poor and management not responsive to input from users on how the layout could be improved and made more safe. Finally, the rec center staff needs to be give more authority to deal with rec center users who are disruptive and whose behavior negatively affects the other users. Open Link 55 - 64 No the Golden Community Center needs additional ARTS classes. Open Link 55 - 64 No The rec center lo cker rooms are too small & out dated. The fans blow cold air on your while you're changing. The showers very rarely get hot and are old & dirty. The plugs interfere with sink use. Toilets are old, dirty. Open Link 55 - 64 No Ticket dogs of leash. Put sign s to remind what the fine is. No overnight parking at parks.

22 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link 55 - 64 No Trails - there are not enough bike trails connecting business/home/open space in south Golden. Need SAFE connections from Green Mountain-U.S. 40-Rooney Road-through the hogbacks-RTD station. E.g. no safe way to get from T. Rex lot to RTD station (U.S. 40 is NOT it!) Open Link 55 - 64 No Would like to see more dog -friendly areas, especially off -leash areas. For example, an off-leash area for dogs to swim in Clear Creek, a dog park along the Clear Creek paths, a hiking trail where dogs could be off-leash. Open Link 55 - 64 No Would like to see more hiking/biking trails especially the peaks to plains trail finished. Open Link 55 - 64 Great bike trails and lane in town. For those coming into town, there is little if any direction to guide them through the system. Bike Trail Maps, and guide signs urgently needed. Open Link 65 - 74 Yes Control the tubers and use of Clear Creek activities so people who like to walk can be safer. Need additional bathrooms and changing facilities. Open Link 65 - 74 No Be more judicious in closing the Clear Creek Trail and leaving it closed - many go around the chains when no good reason to close it. Also too many days of stringing holiday lights. Open Link 65 - 74 No bring back Welch Ditch Open Link 65 - 74 No More yoga classes Open Link 65 - 74 No PARKING Open Link 65 - 74 No Parking at the Community Center is sparse in the a.m.; seems to be due to meetings of other groups at the Center. Open Link 75 or over Yes An Ice Skating Rink would be great. Open Link 75 or over No I go to the Community Center (gym) 3 -4 times a week @ 5:30am. I am usually done around 7-7:30am. On Saturday, the gym opens at 7:00am. If Saturday hours were like weekday hours, I believe I could easily use the gym. Not being able to start a workout until 7:00am takes too big a bite out of the rest of Saturday for me to plan on going to the gym on Saturdays.. I would like to see the gym open at 5:30am on Saturdays. Dick Sargent 2150 Lookout Mountain Road Golden, CO 80401 Open Link Better bathroom at lions park Open Link Better climbing wall in the community center. Open Link Build safe and walkable sidewalks in Golden. Add more parking facilities . With regard to the rec center, vary the types of classes. Open Link Clearly mark where parking and facilities are. Communicate when events are. Build other add-on features to what's already available, like more trails and more trails. And did I mention more trails!!! Our family lives in Highlands Ranch, but we come several times a year to walk, bike or river tube. We always eat and shop...expand more trails and cultural options. We love Golden! Open Link Consider more odd/even trail diversifica tion Open Link Continue to extend network of trails and paths, connect disjointed portions of bike paths. Open Link Golden is great place to live and because my children were born here and raised here we have regularly used all of the facilities listed.

23 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link I'm a downhill mountain biker. Not the 'jerk' kind who scares people and shuttles popular trails--I ride up, but very selectively let it rip on the way down. We need dedicated, directional downhill trails. Where you can ride down without getting yelled at by a hiker or a cross-country rider citing IMBA rules. The Heritage square lift would be a great place to put this (and make the city some $). Think about how many people would stay off Apex if there was a lift-served DH run right next door. Short of that...just more DH-friendly days where NO TRAFFIC is coming up hill. No more conflicts. Thanks for all your great work! Open Link Mines needs to unlock their tennis courts so there students could play tennis there instead of on the City courts. They can get the key from outdoor rec- but typically they just continue down Maple to the City courts. Access with the Blaster card would be a big improvement Open Link More holes like the rodeo hole Open Link pickle ball courts inside the golden community ctr. Open Link Please keep the BMX track open. Open Link The park often feels crowded during its peak times, it could use some more downhill trails and more technical features. While I understand why they are there, there are often a lot of kids on the pump track, and the parents glare at you when you ask for a chance to ride without them blocking you every lap. Open Link The whitewater park is a gees resource but needs improvement and up keep to maintain and draw whitewater enthusiasts from around the country. It could be world class with some improvements to the drops and more support from the city. I always thought the city should petition Coors to donate money to make it a world-class slalom and play spot. Also I find that the zero-tolerance on alcoholic beverages is a bit much and in called for. The Rangers patrolling this area are also not very courteous or approachable. Open Link There is a lot of open space at the park that is perfect to expand the Bike Park and its trails available. There is enough space for this park to be as great as others such as Valmont or Frisco bike park. Open Link Tubers only allowed @ flows of 150cfs or lower, for example. Not a complete ban but this measure also keeps rec tubers safe. Ive seen tubers in the water @ high flows and have personally assisted in rescuing tourists at more than one occasion. Open Link Use -specific trails, connectors Open Link With the growing population and influx of people the trails are getting very crowded. Setting up some directional mountain bike trails. Put the building and maintainance onto the mtb community. The local community is growing every year and would lessen altercations between hikers, bikers, and equestrians. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Adding an outdoor pool adjacent to the community center would be a wonderful benefit to the community. Splash is too commercial and too geared toward little children. Adding more music events like the one in

24 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities June. Limiting events th at bring in smokers, and alcohol would be nice and bringing in events that support athletics like the golden games! Open Link 45 – 54 Yes better police the massive crowds you've asked for with all of your downtown promoting over the last 20 years. Crazy, disrespectful and un- family like atmosphere, esp on weekends/events Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Cafes along the creek, healthy fare or Summer deli/coffee shop Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Clean the bathroom/port -a-potty facilities regularly! The facilities at Ulysses and Tony Grampsas are an embarrassment to Golden. Allow food trucks for little league games and tournaments in an area that is easily accessed. Drag the infields of baseball fields and mow the outfields more frequently. Replace infield dirt and mounds. I note that the fields at Lyons park are better maintained than other fields and yet those GJBA kids do not get to use. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Community Center - more family shower rooms w more bench space Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Connect more trails . Open Link 45 – 54 Yes continue to add to public access open space with multi use trails - can regulate trail use for even / odd day bikes vs hikers/runners and for directional use Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Continued connectivity of trails to all areas of town Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Create more small bike parks that are easily accessible from various neighborhoods. Suggestion: Heritage Dells park and/or Bachman property. Also create more natural surface trails linking the neighborhoods. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Crowd control for tubers like Steamboat spring draw numbers ect. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Golden heights residents have no access to public transportation to access any city resources other than a neglected neighborhood park. Golden Heights Park is not really a good place to exercise next to the interstate highway. The pollution should be considered hazardous to health. The fumes from overheated brakes after the long grade are nauseas and the noise level intolerable if not dangerous to health. Even though I live in Golden I feel cut off from the amenities minimally provided to my neighborhood and would need to travel by vehicle. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Golden, and Jeffco in general, need to get with the times in terms of mountain biking and build, new, better and more progressive trails. All across the county, there are amazing new trails and Golden is missing the boat!! Open Link 45 – 54 Yes I believe there could be better cooperation/coordination with Golden Junior Baseball with regard to maintenance and access to baseball fields for the youth of Golden. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes I wish Fossil Trace was more accommodating to the high school golf teams. It's a city course that should be supportive of the school that's right in its backyard - yet the golf teams rarely get access, and when they do, it's typically only the driving range and putting green. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Imorove safety, particularly where the paths intersect streets.

25 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Increase the number and availability of dirt trails, p umptracks and dirt jumps within the city. Kids shouldn't have to be driven to ride their bikes on something other than roads and sidewalks. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes keep open space available!!!! Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Keep up the good work! Open Link 45 – 54 Yes locker rooms: better hair dryer; suit spinner, when remodel put the sinks on the side of the stalls; bike path desperately needed on HWY 93 to connect north Golden to Ralston trail Open Link 45 – 54 Yes more bike lanes Open Link 45 – 54 Yes More neighborhood connection; allowing the use of the trails that run alongside canals would help a lot to link neighborhoods together Open Link 45 – 54 Yes MUCH larger KIDS pool. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Need more bike trails. It's crazy crowded. Very much l ooking forward to riding up the canyon on the bike path to Idaho Springs. Would like a racquetball court somewhere. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes None. Golden does a great job maintaining parks. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes please put more trash cans and poo bags alo ng the trails. Remove the geese! How much poo is too much. We have to pick up after our dogs, how about the city get rid of the geese. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Put a soccer or volleyball court on the lawn where the pond used to be. Encourage or require people frequenting the clear creek water park to picnic camp in Lions park by the rec center and not along the creek in the parking area or most importantly at the bank or sandy area. Many persons do and they block creek access and leave trash. Access to the creek should be to tube or with limited swimming. The creek is not a free public pool and many patrons have very poor swimming skills. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes We visit not just our neighborhood park but also others so the kids get some variety. It helps when each park has something unique. Open Link 45 – 54 No a shoulder improvement to make parking on McIntyre would be nice. Open Link 45 – 54 No Allow for well behaved dogs off leash during early morning and late evening hours. Open Link 45 – 54 No Consistent and reasonable rules that do not alienate regular year around paying customers. Except for Golden area public schools winter break and spring breaks, reserve adult (18 and over) use of both courts for pick-up basketball from 1130-1300 for working adults who do not have the luxury of being at the center most of the day due to work. Open Link 45 – 54 No Create a downhill mountain bike trail to divert riders who are only interested in bombing down the mountain to get them off of regularly hiked and bikes trails. Open Link 45 – 54 No Facilities are already heavily used. Stop advertising the city. That benefits businesses but not residents. Open Link 45 – 54 No fix the waves for kayak and surf, adjustments in past have been poorly done, get a new wave designer- the old one(gary lacey) only builds v shaped waves for tubers

26 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Sugge stions for Improvement to Amenities Open Link 45 – 54 No Golden has done a good job policing Clear Creek in the summer, using the civilian enforcement officers. With the number of residences and people increasing, I hope we will continue to preserve open spaces and parking facilities so older residents and those with young children can more easily access them. Two minor issues related to the Community Center: we need another Smith Machine in the weight room and please stop airing Fox News: it gives the impression Golden supports one of our political parties. Open Link 45 – 54 No Install more trash cans and dog waste bag dispensers. Enforce dog waste clean up law. Better define pedestrian trails, bike trails and shared trails to keep bikes off sidewalks. Open Link 45 – 54 No The air quality in the Aquatic Indoor Community Center needs to be updated Open Link 45 – 54 No Whitewhater park is way behind in terms of features. There is not one good feature for playboating, most all other parks are much better than golden. Golden was top of the game in 98, but needs to be updated.

Q. 9: Facilities to be Added, Expanded or Improved in Next 5-10 Years

Location for New Parks *Plateau Pkwy/Peery Pkwy neighborhood 6thave/19th, more dog parks. A bigger park with playground equipment for residents south of 19th St., west of Old Golden Rd., and north of Golden H.S. would prevent people from using Fossil Trace as a park after hours. The little park with the dinosaur - by Fossil Trace - is nice, but small. a park within downtown and close to breweries would be fantastic Accessable to Golden Heights Along Clear Creek Along the Tucker Gulch trail. Always important to save open space and parks for neighborhoods any Any neighborhood where parks are more than walking distance (~1/2 mile) for houses. any residential neighborhood. finish the new loveland mine park area which is unimproved Any undeveloped land. One lost place was 6th and Heritage. Any where in golden which can support Cricket. Any where is good Anything connected to a paved bike trail Anywhere Anywhere possible. More green space needed. Anywhere, you build and I will come. Area around Apex. Trails around golf course Around Clear Creek and other watersheds at this situation, where ever possible Bachman

27 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Location for New Parks Being outdoors is the reason to live in Golden Being selfish here, but there are no parks in the East Street area between Coors and the new Natural Grocers. BMX track, Tony Grampas By East and south golden road intersection By lions park By Mesa Meadows neighborhood on bike path; Norman D Park; Lions Park central Golden -Lyons and Parfet are both on the small side -a third park to the south of those two would be nice clear creek Clear Creek area, lower north Apex to connect via mountain bikes trails back to Golden Clear creek canyon and surounding areas Clear Creek whitewater park Close to the 6th avenue fairgrounds and those neighborhoods Complete the Bachman park already! We could really also use a park near East Street and 20th. Coorstek. Also area annexed in ~2009 up near Shelton, former Ag land. Corner of 4th and Heritage Rd. Do something useful with Bachman property Dog park areas within existing parks. More exciting playground equipment in existing parks. Dog park or parks as stated above--larger. Dog parks - So. Colfax downtown E-470 East st East Street and 8/9 Street areas Everywhere Everywhere everywhere! it never hurts to have new parks! Expand and improve lions park and a park in the other side of the creek would be awesome, across from the whitewater park. family oriented parks in town Golden Bike Park expansion Golden doesn't need massive commercial development. We should cherish our open spaces as a foothills community.

Heritage Road and 4th Avenue Heritage Square=downhill mountain bike park

28 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Location for New Parks I don't have a specific location. I like what they are going to do for Table Mountain Park in north Golden. I would like to see some more centrally located off leash dog parks within city limits, and maybe some consideration of having some trails and other open space areas be designated as off leash areas. There's both Table Top's and White Ranch that could be considered, and maybe a program similar to Boulders with dog certifications for off leash control. I also think that the Clear Creek park could be expanded in both directions (upstream, downstream). I'll leave that up to the city. New parks get people outside! I'm unfamiliar with locations available but feel all of Golden's open space should be considered for new parks. id like a couple in some of the more busy naboorhoods Improve the park near Coors (Vanover Park) and the park near the high school (Discovery Park) to include playground. If there is any open land fill it with parks and not buildings! Lions park needs more shade by the playground. In golf course area, to allow all to enjoy the beauty of the course. in place of applewood golf course In the foothills. In the Heritage Road area In the potential Coorstek area, if it is relocating. It would be nice to have some along the east street district Lions Park, White Ash Mines Park, Loveland Mines Park longboard park Longboard skate path North Golden More neighborhood parks Mountain biking and climbing! N golden Near CSM/East Street Historical neighborhood. Near Rooney Road Sports Complex Near East Street neighborhood near golden highschool or south table ,table drive area near Golden Ridge Condos Near the Table Mountain neighborhood, but also would love to see new parks all around Golden. Need a park near the East Street neighborhood. Updates to dinosaur park near fossil tracee neighborhood south of 6 th ave along Heritage road New disc golf course park! New housing developments New Loveland Mine Park new neighborhoods new park or open space in south neighborhood New trailheads and more trails at existing trailheads. No mention of skate park at all?

We live at Golden Ridge. West/North of Washington Ave Where city is expanding Where we have open space. For example where the new apartments went in on highway 58, while I understand the need for rental housing that is a large complex that could have become a park or skate park for kids in town. Wherever land is available to be protected from development. White Ash Mine Park needs updating Whitewater park Within 3 miles of downtown Golden. Would like to see a basketball court in Beverly heights Would like to see a symbiotic relationship with JeffCo, as on North Table --- where City property abuts open space and is dedicated park, resulting in a larger aggregated open space.

Connections between existing and up clear creek. Connections to Jeffco Open space that aren't cumbersome.

It would be great to have connections to other bike trails link up with ours I live in South Golden, so I might as well live on the dark side of the moon. We have 1 bi ke trail near us and a couple parks, but aside from that I don't really see or know about a way we could safely bike up into Golden proper without having to be killed by a car on the road. I live in the southwest corner of Golden (Golden Ridge area) and t here are still some places just south of my neighborhood where the connections are spotty or do not yet exist. I know this may be in progress and would love to see these things continue to be a priority as they have been with recent road construction/changes. I live off of Heritage Road, so ease of connectivity to downtown Golden and to light rail are important to me. I think the city has done a good job connecting the pathways. More connectivity that is bike friendly out south golden road would be nice. I use all of the trails by my house which is near Ford and 7th. I would like to connect the bike path that runs along Highway 93 to North Table mountain and extend it to 58th Avenue - 64th if you can. I LOVE the tunnel under HWY 93 near Golden Gate Canyon Rd I would like to utilize the trails and pathways with my children I would love to see a bike path that extends up Golden Gate, add onto the Clear Creek one (west) and continue the one along HWY 93 I'd like golden to partner with Jeffco to continue bike path/sidewalk access along south golden road all the way to Denver west. I'd like to see more trail and pathway connections in the South Neighborhoods. I'm not sure exactly, improved pathways parallel to the creed heading west into the canyon, just west of highway 58. Also, improved lighting on pathways parallel to 6th avenue near 19th avenue. I've heard of South Table Mountain being linked to somewhere along clear creek on the northeast side, but I don't know if that's true or not. If there is a way to seperate Look out mountain bikes from cars. If we expand these connections, it will help disipate the populations right in town -- it can also serve to bring people in town for Golden to thrive. Improve the i70 / Morrison road area. Perhaps separate the bike path from the road. Improved bike lanes along roadways In / out of Golden in a safe, efficient, and beautiful manner. In and around Golden Inter-city coordination, and the connectivity across US-6/Hwy 93 corridor which is underway

JeffCo Fairgrounds to Justice Center across 6 near Indiana. A footpath across 6 would be amazing! Keep them maintained, wide enough for so many users Keep trails....dirt...everything does not need to be cement. Kinney run link from the apex trails to green mountain trail system would be cool. something more bike pathy linking existing parks would be nice Lookout and Apex need to be managed Lookout mountain Love hiking in Golden Maintain current maintenance on existing trails - Make Golden a mountain bike destination and make it easy to get to all parks via trail Maybe in the areas behind King Soopers towards Table Mtn. there doesn't seem to be any paths in that area. Maybe come down by Xcel Energy and follow the irrigation creek somewhere down through the East Street neighborhood down to 32nd. Speaking of 32nd, it would be nice to have a park located on 32nd, east of Ford St. past the Coors tunnel right below South Table Mtn. There is nothing there. It would be great for a park or even a bike trail. Messa trails More access on south Table Mountain More access points to Apex and Table Mountain parks. more biker only, hiker only trails on chimney gulch. new trails up clear creek, or golden gate to spread out the people More connections southwards towards Lakewood/C470 trail connection More connector trails for the various mountain biking and hiking areas. More connectors with trails to the bike park from say 6th ave west side of town. more designated bike paths on the streets More mountain bike trails More mTB bike trails. And how about ones that go up and down and up and down instead of up up up down down down More trails connecting various parts of the city, and well documents when you are out on them. More tunnels/bridges over roads so kids can ride without crossing streets. most of the ones we visit have good assess and connections Mountain biking and climbing! Neighborhoods north of North Table Mountain neighborhoods to downtown and vice versa nice walking and bicycling connections between parks and outdoor spaces.

Q. 13: Do you have any comments on your responses regarding future priorities to be added, expanded, or improved in the City of Golden?

Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Invitation 25 - 34 Yes It would be awesome to see the city planting perennial fruits/veggies/herbs in place of flowers/bushes (at least downtown) that can be just as attractive and eaten while not wasting water on aesthetics, but educating locals and visitors on the importance of sourcing local food and water conservation. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Please don't forget about us in south Golden! Invitation 25 - 34 Ye s The hill east of Cannonball brewery would be great for a dog park. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes We as a young family with limited funds would hate to see paid parking as it would cause us to not use or shop golden as we do now. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes We love community events! It helps us feel connected as neighbors. Please support community events in Golden. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes We love Golden and would love to see its charm extend towards green Mountain and Golden Heights. Invitation 25 - 34 No An off -le ash dog area is past due in the city! The current off -leash options are very poor and as such, are not used by many dog owners. I want to be able to go on a walk with my dog off leash, rather than just stand in a small yard with him. Disc golf would be amazing too!! Maybe off leash disc golf...perfect:) Invitation 25 - 34 No As long as it is done for the betterment of all Golden residents and engaged the community to help build, construct, design them I am all for them.

61 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Invitation 25 - 34 No Boulder Count y residents should have to pay to park in JeffCo Open Space parking lots Invitation 25 - 34 No Buses to open spaces for bicyclists and hikers Invitation 25 - 34 No Golden is the only city that does not have a skate park. Invitation 25 - 34 No I believe the parks and trails are the single most important piece of the lifestyle in Golden. Invitation 25 - 34 No I would love to see a public downhill and groomed cross country ski center (affordable if not free). Invitation 25 - 34 No It would be amazing to have an off -leash dog park, but my comments from earlier would echo here as well. I'd be grateful to have one, however, I don't see people being responsible enough to clean up after their pets without some sort of code enforcement patrolling the grounds. Invitation 25 - 34 No It's important to have smooth, clear sidewalks everywhere. Ford St is especially needing of improved sidewalks, as well as crosswalks. Invitation 25 - 34 No Parking for Triceratops Trail. Invitation 25 - 34 No There aren't many pla ces to reserve meeting rooms in Golden. Creating more reservable rooms would be very useful. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Clearly marked bike paths on major roads. More enforcement and citations to cyclists who are not following the rules of the road. More Zumba classes. Higher salaries for fitness instructors to be competitive with other fitness centers and prevent frequent turn over of staff. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes covered areas at playgrounds , outdoor pools etc for sun protection. remove homeless people from the rec center. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes don't build a skate park. let them go to apex. build new batting cages. Let us use the fields. Don't take away any more open space. We don't need any more housing Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Good luck. Try not to raise our property taxes (I understand it's the county) and costs too much. And above all, don't make Golden Boulder. We are better than that! Maybe think about a public archery range. It could be an opportunity to partner with CPW. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Healthy vending options! Totally get away from the conventional vending machine proliferation of junk ingredients and go 'clean'! Promoting wellness sessions to be followed up by conventional snacking is absurd. Are there partnerships (public/inter-city, and-or private) which can be created to enhance, make efficient, incentivize, etc, the priorities as they are identified? Keeping responsibilities limited to discrete cities is an increasingly outmoded, 20th Century mindset. An example I can think of - working with JeffCo Open Space, Lakewood, Morrison, Denver to improve non-motorized connectivity to the south of Golden; from Apex Park to Matthews-Winters, Red Rocks... and beyond. Or north (Easley Road / North Table Mtn) to the Arvada-area path networks. Or 32nd Ave between Golden and Denver (more direct than Clear Creek for commuting efficiency). 'The community center without walls', so to speak: Curling @ the new CO center... Summer (and school-break) camps with local and regional businesses and organizations - acting with Miner's Alley, dance @ Arvada Center come to mind quickly. Painting w Art on the Brix...

62 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Invitation 35 - 44 Yes I think all of the above proposed new ideas are ALL AWESOME! I love living and visiting areas where an active lifestyle is totally promoted! Plus, kids need to be encouraged to do more activities because obesity is still increasing! Invitation 35 - 44 Yes More programs and amenities for young kids! Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Na Invitation 35 - 44 Yes We can handle tourists, but not traffic. Increasing pedestrian links to other communities (boulder, west denver) will make our residents healthier and local economy stronger. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes wider sidewalks on East St Invitation 35 - 44 Yes X-CEL facility is an eye sore. Would it be possible for them to relocate and expand South Ridge Park? It seems that it is primarily a storage facility. This is prime real estate adjacent to South Golden Road. South Ridge Park requires an off-leash dog area. We have stopped going to The Splash 3 years ago. It is totally overcrowded. When a line of 50+ people forms before it even opens, it clearly needs to be expanded or restricted to just Golden residents. To me it seems like the entire Denver area comes to The Splash. I would like to return to the Splash with my kids. They love the bucket! Invitation 35 - 44 No Allow dogs off leash on trails Invitation 35 - 44 No Focus on the S. Golden and Golden Ridge areas of the city. These areas are going to become valuable soon and the city needs to establish open spaces and safe pedestrian/bicycle/mtb access before residential/business growth happens. Invitation 35 - 44 No I think the city is doing overall a very good job at making Golden a great place to live. I hope the curtail the growth of the city, especially the additional of more apartment complexes. It forces too many people in our little valley and decreases the overall quality of life for everyone else. I would like to see the addition of more open spaces instead of apartment complexes. Invitation 35 - 44 No In the summer the area along the creek becomes quite congested and littered from people who are visiting to raft along the creek. Traffic also is pretty terrible the 1st Sat of the month along S Golden Road. These things are quite frustrating and make me not want to hang out in my own city which is sad. And a lot of the smaller free parking lots downtown are now being turned into condos/buildings. Want Golden to keep it's charm/not become overly congested/crowded Invitation 35 - 44 No Protect our remaining open spaces and continue to allow access to these areas. Limit growth in area around golden. Urban sprawl is getting too close! Continue the great community events that golden is known for. Invitation 35 - 44 No We use the community center multiple times a week. It gets crowded during busy times and gets smelly/dirty when it is busy. Invitation 55 - 64 Yes No Invitation 55 - 64 No Better policing of people letting dogs poop on sidewalks and not cleaning it up. Heavy fines. Invitation 55 - 64 No Bicycles are over -running and damaging much of our open space. I'm a biker too, but I think it is time for 'bike-only' and 'pedestrian/equine only' days at

63 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Lower White Ranch and other open space areas! As a naturali st/wildlife & bird watcher, it is almost impossible for me to enjoy White Ranch, and it is a very important habitat for birds and other wildlife! Invitation 55 - 64 No Build for citizens of Golden, not the general Denver area. Golden folks are getting squeezed out of our own parks and recreation facilities. Have the park rangers get the dogs off lease on South Table Mtn trails under control. Invitation 55 - 64 No building upon what the city has in place yields the best results. Adding outdoor amenities and parking improves Golden's livability and desirability. Invitation 55 - 64 No Continue to ban smoking, vaping, drinking from parks and facilities. Continue or expand police and/or volunteer ranger bike patrols particularly on summer weekend days (emphasize Clear Creek park). Invitation 55 - 64 No Functional fitness equipment helps us learn to use what we have without expensive parts. Also, being outdoors is key to mental health. :) Invitation 55 - 64 No i feel Golden has lots of recreation opportuni ty both indoors and outdoors. would like to see money going to these current places rather than lots more added. except would like more trails, as they are busy. i like that there is a senior area at the rec center. we have a significant elderly population. Invitation 55 - 64 No I recommend the installation of a bike path and sidewalk adjacent to the Golden Cemetery from the light rail station to the intersection of U.S. - 6 and U.S. - 40. Invitation 55 - 64 No I would like to see a roundabout at 19th a nd Washington Ave. Invitation 55 - 64 No I would love a real bathroom at the park in the Golden Estates off 6th and Indiana. The outhouses are horrible. Invitation 55 - 64 No Just make sure it is managed growth. Invitation 55 - 64 No Just the downtown a rea larger and more shops and arts Invitation 55 - 64 No Keep in mind diverse age groups and their mixed use areas. Invitation 55 - 64 No Leave Golden alone and keep the small town atmosphere Invitation 55 - 64 No Let us use the Lions Park softball fiel ds on the weekends during the summer. Invitation 55 - 64 No Lets see the Police. Walking, or bike patrols, not speeding by smoking in their patrol cars. We have a fine Police force, get out in the public. Stop the smoking downtown. Invitation 55 - 64 No Lighting along Clear Creek walk ways Invitation 55 - 64 No more hiking only trails, so that there is not a conflict between bikes and walkers. Invitation 55 - 64 No no Invitation 55 - 64 No No Invitation 55 - 64 No off -leash dog area Invitation 55 - 64 No Open space is very important. Undeveloped land will only become harder if not impossible to obtain as time goes on. Invitation 55 - 64 No privatize the rec center, golf course and splash, collect taxes from new owners and save tax payers money. we would still have the benefits of these facilities Invitation 55 - 64 No So much of the rec center has been given over to child care. Maybe this is a financial necessity, but it has taken a lot of rooms away from other activities.

64 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities I wish there were more ar t activities for adults. I don't know about the need for new athletic fields and courts. Invitation 55 - 64 No The current off leash dog area at Ulysses is too small and always overgrown when I go there and there is no small dog specific area. I like to see it improved. Invitation 55 - 64 No This city does an excellent job of adding activities to our lives. Traffic and parking problems have to be considered at all levels. Invitation 55 - 64 No We don't need or want any more situations that will add to t he already congested situation. We can't handle what has been caused already!!! Invitation 65 - 74 No Expansion of the swimming pools. Need more walking or running indoor facilities like at the Community Center but bigger and more for the winter so it is not so crowded. Invitation 65 - 74 No focus on family activities and those which preserve the history of Golden for visitors Invitation 65 - 74 No Forest Department needs to keep our trees close to residence, roads and streams in better shape Invitati on 65 - 74 No Fossil Trace Golf Course is good income, but it doesn't have much to do about Golden golfers because of the price. I play Applewood occasionally, but mostly drive to Arvada and Lakewood for decent golf. Invitation 65 - 74 No Golden seems to be overrun with outsiders. Added additional facilities adds to this problem Invitation 65 - 74 No I live at 200 east st i have a 'homemade park across the street from my home, i would really like to see it considered a real park, many people take there dogs there and would use it if it were treated as a real park {pick-nick} table et. Invitation 65 - 74 No Just maintain, not expand. Invitation 65 - 74 No Keep doing what has been done. The amenities in Golden are outstanding: the key will be to keep all of them in good condition in future. Invitation 65 - 74 No Less, not more downtown events Invitation 65 - 74 No Most cities are trying to smooth traffic flow. Golden is doing the opposite by closing traffic lanes, doing away with right turrn lanes etc. Traffic at certain times of day is unbearable. Invitation 65 - 74 No Need more parking given the numbers of people coming to Golden for recreation. Invitation 65 - 74 No Need pickleball courts! Invitation 65 - 74 No No, Invitation 65 - 74 No Please ke ep our town homey. Invitation 65 - 74 No Southeast Golden is poorly connected to Golden. Invitation 65 - 74 No The rec center is crowded and as the population ages, more people will access it do to silver sneakers Invitation 75 or No I am elderly a nd do not use the facilities much. over Invitation 75 or No I feel very strongly regarding the levels of interest and enthusiasm toward over many of the offerings the city makes. Wouldn't it be grand if we could ignite all the 'do..ers' and give them positions of leadership!!

65 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Invitation 75 or No More parking at community center over Invitation 75 or No Only that we need to protect and preserve what natural areas we have left. over Invitation 75 or No We could really use a permanent entertainment platfo rm in Parfet Park, ie over bandshell, for concerts, weddings, movies, plays, inprov Invitation 75 or Make bicyclists responsible by regulating them when and were. over Invitation Consider an amphitheater (Similar To Dillon's in Summit County), Then star t a concert series that will draw people from all over Invitation I have a degree in Phy Ed with the intention of teaching & coaching and have been involved in numerous athletics for a long time. Golf is becoming a rich mans sport. Kids are being kept out of the sport due to types of courses to play & cost. They are the future of the sport. I would love to see a short 9 hole type course (Cub type) that families with kids can use or where kids can learn the game. I played on the golf team in HS, college, the military and afterwards. Golf is a 'carryover' sport, one you can play your whole life. Would also like to see the addition of racquetball courts that can also be used for handball that I am surprised has never been added. It is a great aerobic sport. Also indoor badminton, another good aerobic competitive sport for both men or women. Invitation Slacklining is a growing sport and a really fantastic community. Golden is a location that many people visit specifically to connect with slackliners. Continuing to foster the development of this sport in the Golden area will bring visitors from around the world. The Golden slackliners that I interact with have all been very positive and excited to share with park attendants. They respect the parks, the trees, as well as other park users. Invitation Stop on Lookout Mountain Rd. At my age (76) I lean towards improvements for elderly but this is a young world now to help them be safe. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes 1. Discourage , elimina te 'day' camping & grilling at the Clear Creek WW park. These visitors block access to others including residents. 2. Discourage swimming in the creek blocking tubers, Its not a free pool AND our it's water source. Plus no lifeguards! 3. overcrowding & parking at CCWWP need to be addressed. Perhaps make lot by ballfield a drop-off only. 4. Allow picnicking/grilling only in picnic areas at Lions Park. Not adjacent to creek or in parking lots (ie tail gating) Fee? 5. Consider requiring day use passes w/ fee on weekends? Golden residents could get annual pass. This strategy effectively used to control beach overcrowding on East Coast. CCWWP has become unusable for our Golden Family due to overuse and abuse by non-residents. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes A new park near the upcoming housing development at the Bachmann property would directly affect my family. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Better bike connectivity throughout town Invitation 45 – 54 Yes City should partner with county to push for Lookout Mou ntain to be closed to uphill vehicular traffic on select Saturday mornings. City could sponsor

66 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities this to encourage community well being, capitalizing on the vibrant cycling community. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Contact Chuck at Inform Fitness 303 -469 -0061 re garding power of 10 workouts Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Could there be a better ending to Clear Creek Inter tube floating area? It seams like the kids are going to float right into Coors. Maybe more signage where you should exit the creek? Invitation 45 – 54 Yes I feel like the rec center has many missed opportunities. People go outside of golden to Find rec sports and summer camps for Their children. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes I think Golden has great parks and recreational opportunities, especially if you live north of the city. People in the area around King Soopers kind of get the short end of the stick. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes I think the library is a separate issue, but longer hours there would be good. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes I would like to see washin gton street become pedestrian/bike only Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Increase capacity in popular areas to accommodate additional users. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes longboard park would help children safely off streets Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Not yet. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Parking at popular sites can be an issue (North / South Table Mountain, Chimney Gulch. A way to conveniently and safely park would be helpful. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Programs at rec center that would allow community youth to hang out, maybe check out a board game and interact with other youth Invitation 45 – 54 Yes some new parks would be nice with new playground equipment. a dedicated place for concerts, and small events would be nice Invitation 45 – 54 Yes The Colorado Mountain Climbing Mus eum/ Center has an auditorium with a theatre size film screen.A few summers ago, they featured current films for a cost of just $5.00. Popcorn, soda, and hot dogs were available for purchase. Many families attended, and enjoyed seeing a film in downtown Golden, rather than traveling to the Colorado Mills area. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes The priority list on the previous page wouldn't work on my computer. I would prioritize open space and trails for my family, as well as soccer fields. Invitat ion 45 – 54 Yes The removal of Lyon's park lake seems like it must have been driven by CIRSA liability studies. This was a much nicer setting before and now with the water park being a gathering point for all of metro Denver there is more space for non residents to gather, spoil, and misbehave. The water park is an eyesore and the burden this places on Golden citizens is unrealistic. Why do we have to fund a playground we cant even use because it is 'ghetto'. I'd like to see some leadership stand up to the problem we created and do more than patrol it and cost the citizens more money. If we made mistakes going down these roads lets fix them. Invitation 45 – 54 No - extend trail along Clear Creek towards the west (tunnels) and along south side west of 6th Ave bridge (along Clear Creek Lane) - add bike lane to Hwy 93 to Boulder or build separate bike path to Boulder Invitation 45 – 54 No 1) Lighting for athletic fields 2) More thorough cleaning of Golden Recreation Center locker rooms (i.e. cleaning of floors, inside of lockets, etc) 3) Later (evening) hours of operation in the Golden Recreation Center

67 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Invitation 45 – 54 No An off leash dog area without runoff issues (swampy) would be great. Invitation 45 – 54 No Connecting trails are so important to con nect the city with JeffCo open space and the new Clear Creek trail that will go to Idaho Springs. Invitation 45 – 54 No Disc golf course is highly encouraged; make Clear Creek 'tube -able' again please! Invitation 45 – 54 No I believe the City of Golden d oes a decent job offering activities for Senior Citizens, but I feel it could be improved to offer more programs to engage Seniors and help them get exercise. Invitation 45 – 54 No I don't have a dog myself, but the dog park I go past often, off 8th stree t, is very popular and well used, over used. Invitation 45 – 54 No I made a lot of comments already .. apparently not in the appropriate sections. I have been telling myself that I need to be more active in the community and attend more city meetings. This survey I do appreciate - it shows a level of concern that I thought Golden had lost completely. Thank you Invitation 45 – 54 No I think Golden does a fantastic job balancing the needs of the city and its citizens with the influx of regional visitors enjoying our Golden. Invitation 45 – 54 No Keep adding open space. Invitation 45 – 54 No no Invitation 45 – 54 No Please maximize open space, trails and other outdoor uses! Invitation 45 – 54 No raquetball courts Invitation 45 – 54 No Trails!! And O ff leash dog parks Walking Mall on Washington Street!!! Invitation 45 – 54 No We have a great rec center. Please keep supporting and upgrading this facility. Invitation 45 – 54 Improvements to dog parks like more space. The one at Ulysses is terribl e. Open Link Under 25 Yes The track team is at a disadvantage, we run on pebbles instead of an actual track. Open Link Under 25 No More single track bike trails Open Link Under 25 No More Trees Open Link 25 - 34 Yes Annual maintenance of the whitewater course including removal of strainers and debris from the upper sections of the park. Maybe a river cleanup day could be organized for volunteers. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes Enforcement of car/cyclist rules on lookout mountain. Blind passing, speeding, DUI, etc. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes I love the Community Garden! Open Link 25 - 34 Yes I think every park should have bathroom facilities. If a park does not have a bathroom, we do not typically go back because I have 3 young children. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes I'd like to see a playground that isn't so heavily programmed w/ specific equipment. Big piles of dirt, sticks, rocks, tires, junk, tools, platforms, lumber, etc. Look up the article, 'The Overprotected Kid' in The Atlantic. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes The City of Golden and Jefferson County should try an off -leash dog program like Boulder County. Open Link 25 - 34 No An off the leash dog park would be a huge hit in the City of Golden

68 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Open Link 25 - 34 No It seems that a BMX Track would fit great into the communit y with how popular other forms of cycling are here. Open Link 25 - 34 No Keep people safe on the creek. That is this towns biggest hazard. Open Link 25 - 34 No Make Golden a bicycle Mecca. We are better than Boulder. Let's prove it! Open Link 25 - 34 No Please allow Slacklining to continue to fluorish! Open Link 25 - 34 No Please consider keeping as much open space as possible! Open Link 25 - 34 No There are many communities that have successful roller hockey programs and successful outdoor rinks with other shared use/joint use agreements in place and I think with some strategies the city of Golden could create a sustainable outdoor rink. Open Link 25 - 34 No Would like to see more arts and fitness classes offered at a wider range of times in the community center. Would like to see fewer large festival-like events in the parks. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes A BMX track will help bring the youth into cycling in the future by providing a baseline of skills that can be taught on a track Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Add itional bike parks or improve what we have. Trails and Golden Community Center. Find a way to reduce family price to use all features! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Anything we can do to get kids on bikes will improve their future. Very excited about the bike library. Bike path connections, parking, safety, more options, expanded trail opportunities. Keep them fit, keep them occupied, keep them connected to the community and our residents. Keep their money in bikes instead of other outlets! It's no coincidence that Golden has so many bike shops. We love to bike in these parts!!! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Better street design. Stop installing all the traffic calming devices that limit vision and make a slalom course out of the streets. The new Heritage rd design is a joke. Awful! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Colorado Tennis Cricket League has offered to help defer some cost associated with a cricket field. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Cycling in a huge part of Golden's community, however cyclists cannot safety travel along Heritage Rd with the new bike lanes. Please consider adding a separate bike path along the east side of the road. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Cycling is such and integral part of this community. Easley and 44th are highly traveled by roadies, it'd be nice to see it better connected to the Clear Creek Trail and more safer for the cyclists who ride Easley and 44th. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Golden is becoming a very popular front range destination and it is becoming somewhat overrun on the weekends. This is good for business, but bad for residents who want to enjoy Golden too. Rather than expanding living areas, any open space up for development should go to expanding our outdoor amenities so that there are more for the residents and the visitors. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Go lden is quickly and increasingly become an outdoor recreation - oriented community, which can be supported by trails and outdoor-oriented amenities. Natural surface trails are much less expensive than developed facilities (ball courts, etc.), and serve a broader and growing demand. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Huge lack of bilingual/bicultural offerings in Golden. Lack of diversity in music offerings at outdoor events.

69 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Open Link 35 - 44 Yes I live in incorporated Jeffco but use Golden Rex facilities weekly. Pl ease encourage families to connect to each park via biking along pavement with fun dirt features along the way: small jumps, skinny bridges, etc. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes It would be great to have a safe bike route/ connection from neighborhoods off of 93 to town. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes It would be great to see the Golden Bike Park grow and become even better than it is now. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Love golden! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Love the golden bike park and trails in north table. Expansion and growth there is beneficial Open Link 35 - 44 Yes More trails, better trails. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Mountain bike trails should be a priority. They can be built cheaply and maintained by volunteers. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Mountain bikers have put in countless hou rs of community service to help improve trail systems in Golden/Jeffco open space. It would be nice to see the city reciprocate on this topic. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes My young boys would love a skate park to ride freely on without the trouble of dealing with other adults who do not have patience for little ones just learning to skate/scooter on ramps and bowls. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Our family has missed out on events in golden because we weren't informed about them. The informer should keep better track of events and include in the monthly magazine. This past Saturday, may 21st for example. Big day in Golden with golden games on the creek and the antique fair in park.....yet I had no idea until I walked down. Would be nice to know and plan. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes People come to golden for the natural areas, hiking, and biking. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Please don't expand the golf course - I'd like to see this area more open to the public in general. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Please make golden fields available t o golden youth programs first before groups outside of golden Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Please redo the bathrooms by the main parks. Specifically add soap dispensers at least to the bathrooms by Lion's Park / baseball fields. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Put a play ground and improve restrooms at West Blade park. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes splash is a lovely facility but we don't even use it in the summer anymore because it is so crowded with buses of summer camp kids. The pool is overcrowded and it seems it isn't used as much by golden residents as a result as it is by non-golden residents Open Link 35 - 44 Yes The board should mimic the Vail rec centers programming and events such as running and biking races. Kids adventure races and kids mountain bike camps. Additionally, the events in Golden should be updated. Need new life in your marketing and event team. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes The clear creek rv park seems to be a poorly utilized parcel. Even shifting part of the property to tent only sites and decreasing the number of days per year that people can camp there would be better than subsidizing a few people's creek side housing. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes The lack of a bike/pedestrian path between the west NTM lot and 58th Ave along CO 93 is a major oversight. This connector would link all of the paved

70 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Golden pathways with the extensive Arvada paved path network without the need for a dangerous walk or ride along CO93 with it's 55mph speed limit and lack of street lights. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes The more bike friendly th e town can be the more people will use it. I personally saw this in another town where I was previously living. This is true especially for women and children. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes We need a better connected trail system (less fragmented). Like a high way system Open Link 35 - 44 No Climbing, kayaking, biking, and beer. Millennials and younger generations. Golden has become unaffordable for people that would love to live and recreate in Golden. So expect people to visit Golden from outside the tax base, yet will bring revenue into Golden. When considering improvements also consider ease of access to the area and then back to the businesses that can benefit from the increased tourism to the area. That is why I thought trail access was very important. Op en Link 35 - 44 No Golden Bike Park is a great resource for both young and old. Long live the Park. Open Link 35 - 44 No I think we should do something better with the grass field next to the rec center. Open Link 35 - 44 No I would like Golden to foster relatively quiet, low -impact activities where possible. Speeding bikes, raucous crowds, and a carnival atmosphere have their place, but so too do opportunities to enjoy peaceful nature, stroll, and generally get away from noise and stress -- I would like more focus on encouraging those latter, more tranquil activities for residents. Open Link 35 - 44 No It might be a county thing? But connecting a walking path from city out to 58th Ave. On 93. Open Link 35 - 44 No It's no fun when we lose awesome ameniti es that we already had. Non parks and rec related ... how about the traffic jam that naturally occurs now almost every day with vehicles traveling north bound on Ford street approaching 12th and 13th? WHY did we take it down to one lane both directions? This is a MAJOR artery through the city (especially when washington street is closed half the year) and it seriously stops me from wanting to drive into downtown Golden. This also has nothing to do with the new interchange traffic ... and was a poor poor decision to be made on the functionality of our awesome city. Other things we are missing ... a disc golf course would be amazing! We used to have one up at mines park - but that was taken away years ago (probably for safety reasons). New slalom courses and really bad examples of roundabouts and bike lanes that lead to nowhere are more leading causes losing trust in where and how Golden is choosing to spend our money. Open Link 35 - 44 No Please plan and regulate Golden's amenities for RESIDENTS first, visitors second. In particular, I feel I can't enjoy the creek path from April to September, since it is overwhelmed by out of town visitors acting poorly. The rangers are a good first step. I would like to see visitors providing revenue to repair the damage they do (yes, I have seen people with a grill IN THE CREEK!)

71 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Open Link 35 - 44 No Prefer to let nature guide the way. Please don't pave concrete or destroy natural environments for 'improvements'. Add more community gardens and Colorado native xeric plants instead of high-maintenance exotic plants. Open Link 35 - 44 No Preserving the sense of community that we have by having open space parks and connectivity to all parts of the city are vital Open Link 35 - 44 No The first priority should be to re gulate visitors and their behaviors. It is frustrating to walk in the community I love to live in not only to see dirty diapers lying inches from the creek, fast food bags tossed on the ground, and dog poop smeered on the trails. The summer naturally creates so much energy and joy but it creates a feeling to flee each year. I want to enjoy my community all 4 seasons of the year. Please don't wait 5-10 years to address this situation. Open Link 35 - 44 No there should be a large off -leash dog area close to downtown because it might cut down on all the feces I find daily on the trails; or maybe that won't work, but it's just an idea Open Link 35 - 44 No Would love to see the connector trails built between centennial cone and white ranch Open Link 35 - 44 For a major tourist destination it is quite surprising to me that no hotel tourism tax is collected. A tourism tax would help pay to maintain and expand recreation in Golden. Open Link 55 - 64 Yes Golden Parks and Rec does a great job. Continue emphasis on great walking/biking paths. Adding some special features to parks, like the chickens in CCHP, adds uniqueness to Golden, also. More shade trees in CCHP would greatly increase its usage, I believe. And could we get a Gardening Club to adopt the area behind the Astor House? Could be lovely. Open Link 55 - 64 Yes The waste water treatment plant has been terribly smelly for many years. When entering Golden from Hwy 58, the stink is the 'Welcome to Golden' message that people receive. Open Link 55 - 64 No Any improvements to facilitate walk ability of community. Open Link 55 - 64 No Commnity center weight room machines that can be used independently by paralyzed persons. Facility personnel would find it enlightening to navigate the community center in a hair. Open Link 55 - 64 No consideration of impact of any near or expanded facilities to residential neighbors. Nnoise mitigation of adding any new amenities or expanding park services. Consideration of parking limitations and transportation issues to current and future events. Open Link 55 - 64 No Do a feasibility study and allow community input. Open Link 55 - 64 No Don't lose the sustainability protocols! Open Link 55 - 64 No Enforce the smoking law, Where are the Park Rangers? When they us ed to patrol, they went in pairs. I haven't seen them much this year. Maybe they are waiting for the holiday. I see smokers in the downtown, parks, and on the trails. Smokers don't take kindly to my comments. They say they are outside, not hurting anyone. Thank Mayor. Why do the Rangers patrol in pairs? Fear? Open Link 55 - 64 No Fossil Trace golf course needs an expanded practice area for chipping, pitching.

72 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Open Link 55 - 64 No I believe the park rangers do a great job patrolling, and their presen ce is invaluable to Golden. The parks department does a fantastic job keeping up with maintance and upkeep with the parks and trail all year round. Open Link 55 - 64 No If you want to get a good idea for a rec center, go visit the Susan Duncan YMCA in Golden. This facility is wonderful, clean, spacious, organized, user friendly. Their locker rooms are the model for all others. Open Link 55 - 64 No Improved signage at parks. Lighting in parks. Cameras in parks. Open Link 55 - 64 No More needs to be done t o accommodate and support the sports like and Paragliding. Perhaps a dedicated open space park, or improvements to the areas where these users recreate. Open Link 55 - 64 No Please keep fees as low as possible so that everyone can enjo y-- the fees for membership on Golden History and Colorado Railroad both went up to $75 annual which is a huge increase from $35 to 45 a year Open Link 55 - 64 No The clear creek water park has an undue impact on residents. I would like to see implementation of a daily fee so that the fees could go to better enforcement of rules and maintenance of the creek and environs. Open Link 55 - 64 You do a great job. Thanks for the additional trash bins along the creek near 6th Ave. Open Link 65 - 74 Yes Most o f the facilities or programs will have a very short life span as they tend to be fads and would be a poor investment of city dollars. Open Link 65 - 74 No I would like to see expanded offerings of classes at the rec center Open Link 65 - 74 No INCREASED PARKING AND CLEAN UJP THE FILTHY BATHROOMS Open Link 65 - 74 No Must be practical on expanding footprints as maintenance must be done. Open Link 65 - 74 No No more high density housing in downtown Golden. Have Mines students park on their own campus and not take all spaces in downtown. I volunteer a lot in Golden and parking is getting harder to find. Open Link 65 - 74 No Senior Center does not have a diversity in amount or kind of outside activities as other similar facilities do. Used to 5-6 years ago; now only a couple of outside activities. Open Link Accessibilty to trails and parking and facilities. Resources clearly marked with good signage. Love the history park, maybe more structures or programming there. Also I've tried to find the path for the fossil trail, I can't find it. Parking, bathrooms, signage and more parks and trails and museums. Open Link Improve the whitewater park please. Open Link Outdoor aquatics would be great! Open Link Please don't implement any future 'bi ke lanes' like the one recently installed on Heritage Road. That one is a danger to cyclists and should be immediately dismantled before someone dies. Open Link Study proposals well. Some facilities may sound good, but also consider impacts on neighbors and overall to Golden residents. One example is the proposal to add a bandstand/performance venue to Lyons park. Check out the problems Boulder is facing with theirs. They attract homeless (as shelters) and also are difficult to clean and maintain. Also look at Civic Center in Denver - which is currently unsafe even after the many dollars that were spent to clean it up. It attracts the homeless and drug dealers

73 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities currently per my friends who work in law enforcement in that area. Let's be smart as we move forward with the increase in population We currently need more parking in downtown Golden AND signs by the Golden post office which limit the on street parking there to 15 to 30 minutes. Open Link The playpark is awesome but an ultra low water fe ature would be nice. Ooh and a light Open Link 45 – 54 Yes A BMX track in Golden would be a true asset to the community and excellent continuation of the cycling community. This is a great way to get kids on bikes early! Open Link 45 – 54 Yes CONSIDER ma king wash ave 10mph with lots of traffic calming flower pots or whatever. no cars would be nice, but not feasible for the business. crestted butte has 10mph main street, big barrels and traffic calming. If someone is in a hurray they can drive around mainstreet. We seem to be having a baby boom of small kids. so the idea of BIGGER splash park, and Bigger pool at Rec center makes alot of sense. Also creating more trails and some bike/hike only options will help spread out the crowds. I don't think we need more trailhead parkng lots, bc then it even becomes more crowded. golden has done a good job with bike paths, better sidewalks, walkability. Keep it up ! Open Link 45 – 54 Yes For little kids, Splash is working but as the kids get older and as t eens it needs something more. It would also be nice to have one day of the week during the summer when there are no camps as the park gets very full. Because of this we tend to only go after they have left and not often as the summer weather tends to prevent us from going. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes I really like the sound of having a longboard park I think that would be an very good way of golden turning what might be considered a problem into making it a fun and recreational activity with taking away many of the dangers from the sport Open Link 45 – 54 Yes keep open space available!!! Open Link 45 – 54 Yes more trails Open Link 45 – 54 Yes MTB trails are crowded. Need more mileage to spread the load out & less of the odd/even day restrictions. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Open space should be accessible to all via trails that connect and bus routes. The rec center is a very good resource and should remain affordable. Public recycling receptacles are missing. They are needed for bottles, cans, plastic, etc. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Our city is a huge draw of tourism and resident families are in love with Golden. But there is so much more that could be added and better. Such as, updated parks with more active equipments, water splash pad parks, more Mtn biking opportunities for kids. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Please continue to discourage weekenders from destroying the Clear Creek area. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Providing internet access would provide school age children a place to use amenities they are comfortable using and increase usage. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes The city spends a lot of money on facilities for ball sports and traditional playgrounds - things that every small city has, but are not regional specific.

74 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Comments Regarding Future Priorities Golden should put more resources into developin g it's relationships with Jefferson County and CSM to provide experiences that can only come with the proximity to the mountains that Golden is blessed with. Longboarding, singletrack connections to established parks and trailheads, and improved whitewater park features among them. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes The rec center needs updating, expansion and improvement. Golden needs more lighted tennis courts. The only lighted courts at Lyons park are overused and often in poor condition. The courts need to be swept regularly! The restroom facilities at all of the baseball fields are poorly and irregularly maintained. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes There is a big need for a safe fun area for longboarding. Open Link 45 – 54 No Be cognizant of impacts to emergency s ervices from some higher risk outdoor amenities, fund emergency resources to match. Open Link 45 – 54 No Eliminate some of the summer events to reduce traffic in Golden. Open Link 45 – 54 No Focus on maintaining what we have rather than the shiny new stu ff. Open Link 45 – 54 No more hiking trails Open Link 45 – 54 No more public restrooms and signage additional all in one dog poop bag/ garbage stations Open Link 45 – 54 No Open space acquisition and protection Open Link 45 – 54 No Preserving open spa ce will be very important to maintain the appeal which I love about Golden. Open Link 45 – 54 No Prioritize resident interests over business and development. Open Link 45 – 54 No The whitewater park is a treasure that should be maintained in coordination with the local kayak association. The same is true of the climbing and biking communities - all of these users tend to be very engaged and willing to assist in preserving and creating and maintaining access and use and environment of their recreational areas - not as true of users from other groups that trash areas and are unaware of how to be good community members. Maybe education of the general public about not littering, throwing rocks, etc, would be well-spent money. Open Link 45 – 54 No We recently visited Savannah which has 42 parks and each park memorializes someone important to the history of the city. I think we could do more to honor those who founded Golden.

Q. 14: What are the most important areas that, if addressed by the City, would increase your utilization of Golden parks and recreation facilities? (other)

Other Area that Would Increase Utilization of Golden Parks and Recreation accessibility without a vehicle add some new types of classes Additional trail access all of these, to the extent greater use of parks/rec may relieve some pressure on open space/natural areas. all year swimning instruction

75 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Other Area that Would Increase Utilization of Golden Parks and Recreation As my children grow, we will be using LOTS more amenities! (they are 4 and 1 now so we don \'t use the full range of offerings) better, more continuous, bike trails Bicycle storage Connectivity to regional resources (like Lookout and North Table) Dog allowed off leash Dogs off -leash Enforcement of leash rules for dogs in neighborhood parks - esp. Norman D Park. esp parking along the river front near the rec center in summer. Also allowing nighttime trail running with head lamps on open space trails. Expand the bike park. Functional fitness \'circuit \' along a walking loop. I would pay more to have facilities and spaces be less cro wded. If the heavy usage and associated traffic connected to the creek park was reduced in summer, I would use ALL facilities more. As it stands, I avoid going downtown and using any amenities in the summer, on weekends especially. improved family locker areas in rec center maintenance and care of existing ballparks and restroom facilities. Make the parks more resident friendly. They are over regulated. mini and micro children \'s stops along trail system More adult programs. i.e. swimming and other a thletics more miles of trails to reduce congestion and user conflict More mtb trails more secure bike racks More teachers for boot camp and spin classes. More trails and connectivity between parks, open space and neighborhoods More Trees NO MORE Eve nts! How about a few weekends to just be our town, without endless activities and crowds! NOT more lighting. keep it natural , dark. nothing, I already use a lot off -leash dog area off -leash dog park VERY IMPORTANT parking at trailheads Remove home less from parks shaded areas where the kids can play and adults can sit social media interaction Stop cigarette & pot use Teaching kitchen for cooking and nutrition programming (e.g. \'Stir \' cooking school in Denver) ticket more dogs off leash Trail connection up to 60th (along 93) voilunteer opportunitites

76 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Q. 15: Do you feel that access to recreational facilities directly improves your health and general well-being?

Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Yes Consider the City of Golden including a free 12 punch card for trying out new recreational facilities. One card per household, maybe put them in the Informer, or mail it out during tax time. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Yes Its good to know that i have a place to go to workout or swim and stay in shape. I just really wish it was priced better. Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Yes Thanks for being a great City! Invitation 25 - 34 Yes Uncertain Would love to see more parking or fee bus to help get to BIG events such as Buffalo Bill Days and big car shows and bike races that close part of Golden's streets. Invitation 25 - 34 No Yes Emails and magazines are helpful, but social media is key this day and age. I had a great experience with the visitgolden.org team at their events last week, they really pushed the information about their events. Though I was disappointed that for a 'blue collar' town such as Golden, the museums wouldn't stay open later. Invitation 25 - 34 No Yes I think th e community center is great, but they need more classes at times that working folks could take them. It would also be great if there were better communications about Golden events, I'm on a listserve for Golden community events, but they are only posted either the day before or the day the event is happening, so there is never enough time to plan on attending. It seems like there are several online community event calendars, it would be great if there was a consolidated calendar with information listed in advance. Invitation 25 - 34 No Yes I'm so grateful to be included in a community that actually wants to solicit and listen to their citizens. We think Golden is an amazing place to live and want to keep the big city out of our little community. We have the big city (15 minutes away), so retaining our small community feel is critical for our future generations. Invitation 25 - 34 No Yes Keep up the good work, you're doing great and we just need to expand in a few areas I've highlighted. Invitation 25 - 34 No Yes Love Golden! Invitation 25 - 34 No Yes Love living here. Invitation 25 - 34 No Yes The trails around Golden are a great place to unwind, meditate, escape city life Invitation 25 - 34 No Yes Unless I'm mistaken there are no indoor sand volleybal l courts on this side of town. There is the Oasis in Broomfield and the Island in Denver near Iliff & Havana. Having one that's available for people on the west end of Denver Metro would be fantastic. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Yes Did I win the drawing?

77 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Yes don't build a skate park. let them go to apex. build new batting cages. Let us use the fields. Don't take away any more open space. We don't need any more housing Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Yes Golden attracts many people who lo ve the out doors. Our family included. I think it is important to bolster this and maintain all of our outdoor facilities. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Yes I have commuted literally thousands of miles on interconnecting bike paths to various working locations; this is a resource I would not choose to live without. One less car on the roads, plus all the benefits of playing before and after sitting at a desk! Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Yes I love how well the trails are maintained and passable, year round. I also love that the indoor pool is one of the warmest in the area, and is very comfortable for little kids (and their parents). Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Yes Lower fees Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Yes Overall Golden is doing a good job. Some of the neighboring Rec centers are amazing. The GCC is kind of average in comparison. Pool and hot tub area need a refresh. A membership at the GCC should include entrance to Splash in the summer. All Golden employees and families should receive complimentary passes to all facilities. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Yes thanks for asking! City of Golden rocks! Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Yes Thanks for getting the community involved with new ideas! I hope your survey is productive and I am excited to see what this may bring to my community! Invitation 35 - 44 No Yes I live in Golden because of the access to open spaces and the feeling of living in a mountain town that just happens to be close to Denver. The open spaces and small town feel make this such a livable and amazing town. Invitation 35 - 44 No Yes no Invitation 35 - 44 No Yes Overall, Golden has done a great job with everything that is mentioned in this survey. Invitation 35 - 44 No Yes Parks and Rec in the city of Golden does a fantastic job. Thanks for all you do! Invitation 35 - 44 No Yes The facilities and amenities Golden currently offer are great. The only item I see that decreases the attractiveness of the city is its heavy traffic. This mainly effects the open space and trail The indoor facilities are top notch. Invita tion 35 - 44 No Yes We use the community center, splash (summer), all the open space parks, and trail connections multiple times a week. One of the things we love about golden is the easy access to all these amenities and natural resources. The trails make it so it is easy to get around without getting in the car. Thanks for making Golden awesome. The thing that would be really great in the

Invitation 55 - 64 Yes Yes Golden is a great community and am glad that it's always being improved. Invitation 55 - 64 Yes Yes Love our open space - thanks for having made this a priority in the past. please keep it as a priority, makes Golden a really special place. Invitation 55 - 64 Yes Yes No Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes As an older adult, I feel walking and functional fitness are key to establishing and maintaining whole-health outcomes. Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes Community Center is showing wear, especially in women's locker room Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes Front Porch has limited hours. Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes Great work so far....KEEP IT UP!!! Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes i love living in golden. i love that i can go for a hike right out my door and not drive. it keeps me moving. if i didnt live within walking distance of paths, trails, i would be less apt to exercise and enjoy. Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes Indoor tennis for all ages and teaching swimming instruction all year these kids travel younger golf instruction Invitati on 55 - 64 No Yes Let us use the Lions Park softball fields on the weekends during the summe Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes more hiking trials and, oh yeah... an off -leash dog area!! Cant wait :) Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes More off -road bike paths would be o ne of my highest priorities. Not mountain biking but bike paths that are not on the road with cars. Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes no Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes No Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes Ranking Question #2 was very difficult to answer, as I do not presume to know what's best for the City of Golden, plus I'm not sure whether that mean the City itself or its residents. Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes They provide access to areas a person can use to increase their physical activity. Invitation 55 - 64 No Yes yo ung and old have different needs from open space. A balance between these needs is prudent and desirable. Invitation 55 - 64 Yes Its obvious Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes Disliked the removal of the lake at Lyons Park! Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes Generally the staff in Golden Parks is doing a very good job. But if parke staff are doing winter snow plowing, try to keep the blades within the borders of the walkway; they really tear up the turf. Thanks Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes I feel I don't take advantage of the programs offered by Golden. Recently I've learned how to get connected to the Golden emails

79 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation that inform me of events. Before that, I would constantly ask my daughter, 'How did you know that was going on? ' Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes I take issue w ith being asked what I think is good for the City of Golden; who am I to judge. I can only offer my perspective of what works for me. So, my opinion on the aforementioned needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes I think the city d oes a great job. Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes Love living close to the Community Center. It's why I moved to Golden. Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes No. Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes Thank you for providing the opportunity to give input. I think it is important to serve all ages from youth to the elderly to have a vibrant sustainable community. Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes Thank you!! *_* Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes We are fortunate to have wonderful facilities. Parking remains a problem and continues to worsen. In vitation 65 - 74 No Yes We are Seniors w/ grandchildren. We are very happy with the maintenance and facilities at Beverly Heights Park....would enjoy the addition of a small set of swings for the young ones. A set with a teter-totter affair included with the swings, :) Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes We use the pools mostly and the indoor track at the Community Center and the bike trails in the summer or on nice days. Jerffco needs to build a Water Park in Lakewood and Arvada so it is not so busy in Golden at the Splash or the Community Center or charge them more. Invitation 65 - 74 No Yes Would love to see a middle income housing area in Golden, similar to Heather Gardens (housing & rec areas). Will have to move out of Golden if something is not done soon. Invitation 75 or No Yes I am in my 80's and the Rec Center keeps me going over Invitation 75 or No Yes I utilize mainly the community center weight room and the trails, over for running and biking. I exercise every day at 83 years of age. Invitatio n 75 or No Yes I, with my trusty FitBit, try to achieve 10,000 steps daily. Golden over trails make this very easy to do. Activity keeps us healthy! Invitation 75 or No Yes My husband and I really like the classes offered at the over Community Center. We try to participate at least twice a week in the Strength and Balance Classes. Invitation 75 or No Yes The City needs to have the School of Mines to provide parking over for it's students.Some of the City streets are too narrow due to 'street-scape', byicicles, and packed snow next to the curb. It causes a dangerous situation Invitation 75 or No Yes Yes, we are so lucky that our floor plan was spelled out so well over years ago, giving us now a super frame for added needs. Invitation 75 or No Unc ertain I have enjoyed the wood stove cooking classes in the Clear Creek over area log cabin.

80 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation Invitation 75 or No Uncertain We are seniors with no grandchildren, so parks are not over important to us. Neither are bike trails or tennis courts. We do like the Golden recreation center. We are hoping none of these things will increase our property taxes. Again, we are retired and seniors. Thank you. Invitation 75 or Yes Makes me walk to and from over Invitation 75 or Yes More patrols on pathways over Inv itation Yes A city bus would be nice up the hill/Washington Ave Invitation Yes As a 22 yr resident and former board member of Buffalo Bill Days, I must admit that I have not had 'positive' impressions of the Comm Ctr Director. I haven't met him and he has no idea who I am. However, I have had the occasion to interface with him a couple times. He does not know me but I came away with a less than favorable impression due to his rudeness and arrogance. I don't know if I can even recall the specific circumstance, but they do stick in my mind. I have heard the same from 'others' on numerous occasions. You never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression. Invitation Yes Thank you. Again, please stop with the parking lots. Studies show that when you build them, more people drive! Invitation Yes Thanks for doing the survey and asking my opinion Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes All of this makes Golden better as a whole, not just from an individual household. The city amenities better the community and value versus satisfying one's particular needs. The more people want to stay in Golden, the better. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes City should partner with county to push for Lookout Mountain to be closed to uphill vehicular traffic on select Saturday mornings. City could sponsor this to encourage community well being, capitalizing on the vibrant cycling community. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes I feel very lucky to live in Golden and to be raising my 3 year -old daughter here because of all that Golden has to offer. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes I have lived in this house for 10 years, and in Golden on and off for 20 years, and I am delighted with the historical and ongoing improvements made by the city. It is a wonderful place to live. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes I love Golden - I think its important to keep the residents in mind when planning events that bring large crowds to our small city- Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes I think in general, you guys are doing a great job! Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes I would like to thank the City for improving the water quality/clarity at the Splash. The new filter system is fantastic. I would also encourage the Splash to reduce the lap lanes btwn 12 & 4PM from 4 to 3. Us lap swimmers aren't using them then and this would reduce the overcrowding in the open swim shallow

81 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation end of the lap pool. Probabaly make your day use customers happier too. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes Keep fitness classes part of community center usage fee. I hate paying extra for fitness programs there! Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes Thank you for being the best city anywhere!!! Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes The existing skate park located near Bell Middle School is well hidden and has become a gathering spot for teens who smoke and drink. The park itself is atop a tall hill with an entrance that is difficult to find. As such, its easy for youngsters to congregate and engage in troublesome activities. Skateboarding is a very popular spot among teens. Parfet Park is a perfect location for a longboard park. If the skate park were surrounded by benches or picnic tables, the park would attract teens and families alike, thereby improving dialogue between teens / parents / community members, law enforcement, etc. Teens could organize skating competitions or demonstrations, thereby reducing the stigma and negativity often associated with 'skaters.' In addition, if the park were well within public view and easily accessible, the temptation to drink or smoke would be eliminated. I think this addition would add a youthful dynamic to our community for an age group that is largely ignored. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes The showers at Golden Rec Center (& Splash) are usually very grimy & look like they get cleaned about 1/month (in Splash's case, it looks like 1/season). My kids greatly prefer Apex over Golden Rec Center because the pool is better & I like that they clean the locker room (many times per day). Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes We seem to be faltering as a community when it comes to taking care of citizens. We deserve a much greater break on the cost of recreation as the citizens 'own' and carry the major burden for our recreation facilities. The Lakewood, Denver, or Arvada visitor wins by accessing our facilities one hands down. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Yes Yes. T hank you for your survey. Invitation 45 – 54 No Yes Golden is AWESOME - thank you!! Invitation 45 – 54 No Yes I use the Rec Center year round, though more in the winter. I use the trails year round as well. All of this helps keep me healthy. Invitatio n 45 – 54 No Yes I'm a local author and I LOVE Golden. I wouldn't live anywhere else, and I'm proud to call it home. I relish being outside so anything that improves the quality of life for my dogs/me outdoors is a plus. The Rec Center really needs a facelift as a lot of people use it in the winter. It would be nice if you could replace the hot tub with one that offers full-back jets. The one we have at the Golden Rec Center is pretty lame. Invitation 45 – 54 No Yes no Invitation 45 – 54 No Yes No

82 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation Invitation 45 – 54 No Yes Not quite related, but for the characteristics of this town it is very surprising that we have such limited internet options. Invitation 45 – 54 No Yes Nothing more than already mentioned. More programs for Senior Citizens. Invi tation 45 – 54 No Yes One of the best benefits that Golden offers its citizens are its Rec Center, pools, trails, and parks. Invitation 45 – 54 No Yes Thank you for all the open space the city has bought so far! Invitation 45 – 54 No Yes Thank you for pu tting together the survey. Will the results be available in an Informer or other channel? Invitation 45 – 54 No Uncertain If I wanted to live in a town like Boulder I would have moved to Boulder. Golden has turned into another Boulder. I want nothing to do with it. I miss the old Golden back when you could drive down the streets and not sit in traffic jams because the major roads in and out of golden have been taken over by bike lanes. Golden has become as snobby and snooty as Boulder or Cherry Creak. I do very very little shopping or facility usage in Golden. I for one can hardly wait to move out of Golden. Open Link Under 25 No Yes More mountain bike trails Open Link Under 25 No Yes Pretty much the whole reason I still live in Golden is to have easy access to all of the rec facilities and open space parks in the area. It's been great for my physical and mental health. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes Yes It would be great to have well maintained permanent restrooms at Golden's Parks. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes Yes Yes - it's an important community amenity, and should be a strong part of Golden's self image. Open Link 25 - 34 No Yes I love Golden and the people who work to maintain this beautiful city, please remember to keep open space in mind! Open Link 25 - 34 No Yes Love the whitewater park. Thanks for all the maintenance that goes into making the river a lovely place to be. Open Link 25 - 34 No Yes Thank you for providing the opportunity for input! Open Link 25 - 34 No Yes The public bathrooms around town, esp ecially Lion's Park, are pretty gross. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Amazing town, schools, and community. The restaurants and retail need a major revitilization. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Being excited about exercise and being outdoors because we have excellent facilities/parks/pathways is how to keep folks motivated to get outside and be healthy! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Better communication is key. I often hear events at Lions park, yet have no idea if we are able to attend, if it's kid friendly, or how long it will go on for. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Golden is an active community. People need more trails and pathways to connect to the activities. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes I strongly believe the family locker room at the Rec Center pools needs an extensive expansion. It is not adequate for the number of families that use the pools. With a single bench along a narrow

83 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation walk through, it is easily crowded (even with just two families using it), especially before/after swim lessons. Parents are scolded for bringing young kids into the men's and women's locker rooms instead of using the family locker room, yet men and women without kids frequently use the family locker room as a pass through to the pool, creating more congestion, and using the restrooms in the family locker room. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes I want to thank you for doing such a great job. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes It would be great to have bmx, skate, ice rink all nearby with good trail connections to ride bikes more instead of driving to other towns for these sorts of parks/facilities Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes It's why my family lives in Golden. All of the open spaces, trail systems on and off road and parks benefit our overall health and well being. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Need child care back at the recreation center Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Night use for bikes and hikers would provide ability to commute to work by bike, more use, and better health for our citizens. There are limited issues with this as well. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Overall, Golden has great parks and Rec. I'm so glad I can raise my family here. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Recreational facilities in Golden directly relate to my family's health and well being. We choose to live in Golden because the city offers so many amenities for a high quality of life. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Thank you for taking community input to make Golden an even better place to live & meet the needs of all community members. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes The city has done a good job taking a stand for the Clear Creek out-of-town folks. More work could be done to increase safety and patrol to stop people trashing the place. Also, more effort to close down Lookout Mnt to motor vehicles (DUIs) - no more deaths! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes The co mmunity center women's locker room and showers are disgusting. They always look filthy, the shower curtains are cut so small that they barely cover the gap in the shower stall, and the floors are gross. Rubber mats on all of the floors and in the showers would be a huge improvement. It would help mask the dinginess of the floors, and you wouldn't have to change in standing puddles of water from other people using the pool or showers. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes The system is a great asset to the community an d offers a lot today. A look to the future and providing different amenities then typical playgrounds would expand reach to older children (10+) and provide more opportunities to be active. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes There are many in the community willing to help in making more trails happen.

84 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes There is a need for more parking at the lookout point on Mt Zion / Lookout Mtn. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes We ❤ Golden! A healthy, friendly, outdoorsy place to raise a family. Keep up the great work! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes We must expand and take care of our trails for bikers and hikers. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Yes Yes, access to recreational facilities direct ly improves my health and general well-being. Open Link 35 - 44 No Yes Absolutely. City recreational activities are great for anyone - but the best part is they are usually affordable for people/families on tight budget. Providing convenient access to affordable recreation gives all kinds of people the opportunity to live healthy and fulfilled lifestyles. Open Link 35 - 44 No Yes Climbing, kayaking, biking, and beer. Millennials and younger generations. Golden has become unaffordable for people that would love to live and recreate in Golden. So expect people to visit Golden from outside the tax base, yet will bring revenue into Golden. When considering improvements also consider ease of access to the area and then back to the businesses that can benefit from the increased tourism to the area. That is why I thought trail access was very important. Open Link 35 - 44 No Yes I choose to live here because of the recreational opportunities surrounding Golden. Better connection of those amenities would only increase our wellbeing and enjoyment of this great town as it grows in popularity Open Link 35 - 44 No Yes I love the outdoor opportunities and community center in Golden, and I take advantage of them often. Open Link 35 - 44 No Yes It is important to ensure our parks attract families and people using them in ways that benefit our community. I don't want to see area parks become places for high school kids to smoke or where families are intimidated to allow their children to come. I also don't want trails that come at the expense of good automobile access to the city. Open Link 35 - 44 No Yes It's not only how I feel but it's a fact Open Link 35 - 44 No Yes No. Open Link 35 - 44 No Yes potentailly later hours at rec center might help reduce some crowds at busy times, but we tend to avoid times when its busy or go play outside Open Link 35 - 44 No Yes Thanks for the survey :) Open Link 55 - 64 Yes Yes Golden citizens are lucky to have the wide range of parks and facilities that the city maintains. They add immensely to the quality of life in Golden. Open Link 55 - 64 Yes Yes Keep up the good work! Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes Ban Cell Phone use in the Recreation Center locker rooms and pool.

85 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes Clean toilet facilities at Ulysses fie ld. The portable toilets are horribly dirty and stinky!! Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes Getting people outside, enjoying their surroundings, and creating healthy systems of connection to the outdooes is always great for general health and well-being. Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes Golden is a great community. Let's keep it that way. Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes Keep up the good work Golden. Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes Parks need to be kept clean, and patrolled by police on foot on occasion. Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes Peopl e want and need to be able to be outside. Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes The bike trails and walking paths are a huge factor in the quality of life in Golden. Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes The Community Center aquatics area and locker rooms are getting tattered and not always keep as clean as they could be. Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes The increase in publicizing Golden as a destination for tourists/nonresidents one the last few years has led to such a massive increase in people using Clear Creek Trail, especially along the Kayak Park that we feel almost unable to enjoy that part of our wonderful town. Open Link 55 - 64 No Yes The proximity and ease of access (by walking, driving, biking) is the main reason we moved to Golden. Open Link 55 - 64 Yes Again, we have a wonderful community. However, are we really so tax deprived from our residence, that we have to tolerate non-stop weekend activities, over crowded trails and streets, and lack of parking in the our neighborhoods? If we insist in promoting our town, visitors should pay for parking in these congested areas so we benefit somehow from the inconvenience. Why are we so frightened of this? Outsiders use our parks and creek like a free Water Park all summer. Those of us who live here now feel the need to escape our own town when it is so overrun. Quality of life is diminished for residence while greed for money seems the driving force in our City Council . Can we not strike a balance? Thank you for maintaining our Parks so well, they are beautiful! Open Link 65 - 74 Yes Yes The health and general well -being is important as helps insure a viable and economically healthy community. Open Link 65 - 74 No Yes Anything that keeps people moving is good. Open Link 65 - 74 No Yes Quick and nearby access saves ti me and encourages usage Open Link 65 - 74 No Yes Thanks for all you do, to make Golden a great place to live. Open Link 65 - 74 No Yes Want a much cleaner Rec Center - right now too many shortcuts in cleaning it and maintaining a clean pool - esp. Warm water pool. We always have a sandbar in warm water pool during water aerobics. Open Link 65 - 74 No Yes Welch ditch provided irragation and nature walk

86 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation Open Link 65 - 74 No Yes Would like to see a Tai Chi class later in the morning vs 8am class. Open Li nk 65 - 74 No Uncertain CONDITION OF PARKS PARKING AND BTHROOM FACILITIES ARE DEPLORABLE Open Link 75 or No Yes I go to water aerobics 3x/wk and socialize at the Front Porch. As over a senior citizen, I feel both of these activities increase my general well-being. Open Link Yes Downtown Golden has a great network of trails, but bike lanes on heavily-ridden roads are consistently neglected. Bike paths only help for casual riders, and a tremendous numbers of avid cyclists come into Golden, often to access Lookout. When roads are re-paved, the City should plan to expand the width a bit (where possible) to accommodate a safer zone for cyclists. Lastly, the City should initiate a Cycling Education program; there are too many local residents who don't think that bikes should be on roads, and they overtly drive aggressively in order to demonstrate their opinion (and ignorance of the 3-feet-to-pass law). Open Link Yes Golden bike park has always been a great place to go and enjoy not only riding but being a part of building and maintaining jumps and trails allows youth to learn to respect the park they are using because they helped build and work on it. It is a great way for kids to her their hands dirty! Open Link Yes I love our parks...I volunteer i n the gardens Open Link Yes just that pickle ball is important for a community: indoors and outdoors play. mixed ages can play together; mixed skilled can play together; any physical shapes can play together; show up, do not need reservations. Ope n Link Yes More bathrooms and access and parking...also bike racks too. Open Link Yes More improvement on the whitewater park would be great! Open Link Yes Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I look forward to being kept updated on the process as a resident of the City of Golden. Also, should have included this comment earlier, but will do now. Am looking forward to the recreation of the Buffalo Rose - time to change its use to be more family friendly. Time to move on from the loud motorcycles revving up their engines in the middle of town. Open Link Yes You guys are awesom keep doing you. Open Link Uncertain Unclear what you're even asking for here Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Yes ? not sure what the question is. maybe this is a typo. But golden has done a good job the past 10yrs making a more walkable town. keep it up. we have alot of new children here. we need to break ground now on a bigger Splash water park, and Rec center. And keep up the great trails. just more of them.

87 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Comments about Improved Health and Well -Being through Survey Age Kids Answer Recreation Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Yes BMX track please! Since the closure of the Arvada track many Golden citizens are having to travel to Dacono, Colorado Springs or Littleton every weekend. We need this in our community! Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Yes Golden is the be st place because of the pockets that make it feel rural and quiet. Lets keep it that way by providing lots of open space and limiting growth Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Yes I have no direct access to a healthy facility in Golden Heights Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Yes If I have a membership to the rec center than all classes should be included. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Yes outreach programs for at risk children would be used if need and programs could be facilitated- perhaps free swim lessons Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Yes Please address the condition of Clear Creek Whitewater park It is frequently overrun with people staying there all day It is not a free swimming pool and barbecue area Perhaps require people to picnic across the street in Lions Park Not allow people to barbecue on the sidewalk in the parking lot or in the sandy area by the falls Consider making a parking lot in front of the white water Park a drop off only zone or charge people for parking The Clear Creek Whitewater park is the one golden service as a resident I don't have access to because of how much overuse it receives and how loosely it is managed. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Yes When im active I feel healthyer Open Link 45 – 54 No Yes Just want to say that I think the staff for open spac e really does a great job. I know there must be difficulties managing for multiple use, but they have always seemed to listen to the public and its something I have always appreciated. If nothing changed, I'd be happy Open Link 45 – 54 No Yes None Open L ink 45 – 54 No Yes Reduced fees for residents and parking restrictions so we are not the free entertainment destination for surrounding towns, unless we also enforce existing laws on waste and open containers. Family friendly is not the same as anything goes.

99 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Q. 18: Do you have any further comments about parks and recreation facilities and programs in the City of Golden?

Survey Age Kids Additional Comments Invitation Under 25 No Just recently moved and am looking forward to exploring all the trails and parks Golden has to offer! Wishing there was a map showing all of the trails and hiking spots near here, though Invita tion 25 - 34 Yes We love living in Golden and want to see it kept up and bringing in more visitors. We love the 'Golden Rules' and love seeing rangers down by clear creek keeping the park clean & safe. We love the NO SMOKING rules that make bring young children to events but fun and safe. Invitation 25 - 34 No Boulder and Boulder County Charge residents outside of the city/county limits to use their parks and open space. I would be curious if you knew the make up of people visiting our area. User Fees (i.e. parking lots for a fee for out of town visitors, usage day fees, etc.) I would be in favor of as long as people from outside of Golden were targeted unless they had recoproicty with our city. Invitation 25 - 34 No Compared to other states, we pay NOTH ING in taxes. Feel free to raise them - you provide amazing services and amenities and you'd have my vote/support in doing so. If anyone complains, show them what other states pay and what they get out of it. I think people, with perspective, would not complain about nominal tax increases. Colorado is one of the most thriving states in the union and it's been growing constantly since I got here 10 years ago. To dodge a tax increase wouldn't be fair for our social contract. That said, we're not all millionaires, but smart and effective increases could do wonders for our community. Invitation 25 - 34 No Golden is already unaffordable to many, and the parks offer low cost recreation for all. Please keep Golden accessible to those of all income levels. In vitation 25 - 34 No I would like to see a totally restored Clear Creek by Coors Brewery Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Bring back the batting cages. Let us use the fields. More off leash dog areas. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes I think golden does a pretty good job already. Always room for improvement and therefore I appreciate to be allowed to fill out this survey. I had no idea we had a bike park. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes In general, I'm really happy with the parks and rec available in Golden. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes It would be great if an outdoor amphitheater could be added to our community Invitation 35 - 44 Yes Such a great foundation but can always be improved ;) Invitation 35 - 44 Yes the programs for young children are available mainly for children of stay at home parents. would be nice to have programs on weekends i.e. swim classes for toddlers Invitation 35 - 44 Yes we love Golden! I can't think of a better place to live and parks and recreation facilities definitely are a big part of why we love it here. Invitation 35 - 44 Yes You know the cost of living here, create events that create profits, be out of the box thinkers, don't pass the buck to us trying to live here. Do we even know where the lottery $ goes? Call old hickenlooper. Maybe it's time to allow a Mary Jane house on the edge of town and tax the hell out of it. I'm

100 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Additional Comments serious about this one; put secure donation boxes around some of your parks, you might be surprised. Create a vast volunteer program, get neighborhoods involved in maintain neighborhood parks. Grants, etc...Don't talk taxes, at least with me. Invitation 35 - 44 No I believe charging for parking to help pay for the trails/water park/clear creek access is a reasonable idea. Parking close to those areas could require a fee as farther away or parking garages could still be free. Invitation 35 - 44 No no Invitation 55 - 64 Yes No Invitation 55 - 64 Yes wall ball space - lacrosse Invitation 55 - 64 No By and large, I think they are well planned and maintained, hats off to the City and the P&R dept. Invitation 55 - 64 No Charge a parking fee at Clear Creek parking areas, make it free for Golden residents. Boulder city/county does this at its parks. Invitation 55 - 64 No Dare I mention... an off -leash dog area. Invitation 55 - 64 No Dogs off leash are a problem. We wonder about the labor and energy costs for the massive amount of holiday lighting. Invitation 55 - 64 No I use and like the trails, parks, and rec center. A disk golf course would bring folks into town and enhance Golden's reputation as a destination. It is something I would like to do. Invitation 55 - 64 No Keep up the good work. Invitation 55 - 64 No Let us use the Lions Park softball fields on the weekends during the summer Invitation 55 - 64 No look for ways to re duce the budget not increase it Invitation 55 - 64 No My wife and I use the community center three to four times a week especially in the winter time and we have noticed that the locker rooms especially the showers aren't being cleaned and maintained like they should. They are often dirty with hair in the drains ect. Also I am not crazy about the new hot tub. The water doesn't seem to be that hot and the jets are a joke. I thought the jets where going to be re worked? They were better the way they were before. Invitation 55 - 64 No no Invitation 55 - 64 No None at this time Invitation 55 - 64 No Please continue maintenance of landscaping along trails and winter snow clearance. Invitation 55 - 64 No Please post signs at all Golden trails asking peop le to speak in low conversational tones, especially at South Table Mountain Lubahn Trail Invitation 55 - 64 No Remove the silly and poorly -designed circles they installed on Heritage Road! Invitation 55 - 64 No The city should gear the spending for these items to what improves Golden for its residents and not for what will bring more people into Golden. Invitation 55 - 64 No The facilities that I use are well maintained and your efforts do not go unappreciated. I suspect those are a reflection on your facilities as a whole Invitation 55 - 64 No Would definitely not support commercial development or massive redevelopment on the Clear Creak recreational property. You cannot park in downtown Golden on the weekend, especially in the summer. Why keep

Invitation 55 - 64 No You can make real positive progress if you start working on this soon Invitation 65 - 74 No All in all, the City is doing a good job! Invitatio n 65 - 74 No Golden does a very good job (maybe too good) but needs to take a break and slow down. Maintain, don't expand. Smaller IS better! Invitation 65 - 74 No Golden has plenty of money. It does not need to ask for more. It has so much money, it does not need any from cannabis businesses. Invitation 65 - 74 No Golden is a wonderful town that seems to attract a very large number of people on the weekend. Tubing is out of control and should be limited. Better crowd control and adherence to existing rules will improve park facilities and programs. Invitation 65 - 74 No I appreciate that the public bathrooms are provided. I think it is important to balance residents needs with the tax revenues tourists create, Invitation 65 - 74 No I should use the r ecreational facilities more! Invitation 65 - 74 No Improve walkability of Fossil Trace Golf Course, especially on holes # 11 and 18. Modernize some workout equipment in fitness center. Invitation 65 - 74 No Keep up the good work! Invitation 65 - 74 No No Invitation 65 - 74 No No, but thank you. Invitation 65 - 74 No None Invitation 65 - 74 No Pickleball courts. Thanks for asking!! Invitation 65 - 74 No The City has done a great job, now just maintain it all before adding new amenities. As for historical preservation, the Astor house, brick house and museum would seem adequate for a city of our size. Any more elaborate facility should probably be county or region wide with a contribution from city cofers. Invitation 75 or No Generally, Golden is doing a GREAT job over Invitation 75 or No Generally, I think they are great. over Invitation 75 or No I think we have superior facilities and programs. Now the job is to infect more over participants with a highly contagious virus which will drive them to the volunteer's door!! Invitation 75 or No It is not reasonable to add taxes, bonds, etc. to pay for a reasonably limited over use by the general public. We have enough 'taxes-fees' to build important items, i.e. roads, school, city maint. If you use it, pay for it with user fees. Invitation 75 or No Just keep it all going! over Invitation 75 or No The Washington Street planters are ell maintained over Invitation 75 or No Too many regulations for special events in our parks. over Invitation 75 or No we are there ---- back off over

102 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Additional Comments Invitation 75 or No We can't afford an increase in taxes to support things we don't use. over Invitation 75 or No Your questionnaire doesn't address how one perceives the P&R facilities over impacting the general Golden 'way of life', not necessarily how P&R affects personally. They are 2 different issues. Invitation 75 or License and regulate all bicyclists! over Invitation Already identified. Invitation Don't raise taxes, raise user fees if necessary Invitatio n If you find user fees an acceptable remedy, Goldenites should have nearly free access - perhaps low-cost yearly passes. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Additional picnic facilities and bathrooms in the history park would be nice. Maintain rec center gym (both sides) for adult basketball Monday/Wednesday/Friday 11am to 1pm EVEN DURING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS! Invitation 45 – 54 Yes City should partner with county to push for Lookout Mountain to be closed to uphill vehicular traffic on select Saturday mornings. City could sponsor this to encourage community well being, capitalizing on the vibrant cycling community. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Golden has a great parks and rec program. Keep up the good work! Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Golden is already to expensive to live in and I think an additional sales tax would work against the local businesses. I thought this survey was just to maybe change how you currently spend the Parks & Rec money. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Historical sites are tough. People like & use them, but are reluctant to pay (and want value). The free mechanism here in Golden has, hopefully, increased the foot traffic at these sites while contributing to the overall economy of the city. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes I am very pleased with the breadth and quality o f Golden's Parks & Recreational services. They are fantastic for a city this size and take advantage of the natural beauty of Golden. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes I like what we've got so far but feel we should have more facilities & options as the city is growing. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes I offer this caveat to the support of new taxes and fees: If I pay more in tax as a citizen then treat me like I'm a partner. Don't increase taxes, fees, and mills then turn around and offer us essentially the same 'deal' as the non-resident. It is an expense and privilege to live here. We're 'citizens' not 'customers', please treat us as such. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes It's very difficult to narrow down one's choices, as all programs seem to be very important. However, because land is limited, especially in the downtown area, I do believe that Parfet Park is outdated. A renovation and/or addition of a skate park could go a long way in added value. Additionally, the Community or 'Rec' Center is outdated. The pool is dirty and the showers are filthy. Renovating that facility would also make a big difference. The trail system we have could be improved. However, its pretty nice as is. If I had to choose, I'd prioritize new parks and renovations over trail improvements. Invit ation 45 – 54 Yes Overall I think they are very good.

103 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Additional Comments Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Please make everyone feel welcome - I know parking is an issue but we cannot sell Golden as a staycation location then make people feel unwelcome. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Sales t axes disproportionately affect the poor, so those are not good. I also think you make the city less competitive in terms of tourism if you charge high lodging taxes. A better way is to increase the number of people who come here, perhaps lower some lodging taxes to encourage that. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes spend less funds on bicycle lanes, they are not used. Concentrate on updating the existing facilities Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Tax the tourists. People who live here pay enough. We already subsidize Rec for out of Towners via golden car cruise, tubers, ect. Find a way to get those people paying rather than expecting residents to further fund tourist leisure. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Thank you very much for your hard work. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes They are ac tually in great shape and Golden is the envy of the metro area when it comes to parks and recs. Golden residents seem to take great pride when using the parks and picking up after themselves. Unfortunately, it's the non-locals who are more apt to litter, blast their music, smoke/drink, etc when using Golden facilities (at least that's what I've noticed over the past couple of years). Not sure what the solution to that is. Invitation 45 – 54 Yes Would school of mines consider opening its facilities to city of golden residents who pay for access? Invitation 45 – 54 No A small disc golf course would be grand! IE: Johnny Roberts Park in Arvada is a grand example. The course also in Arvada (Bird's Nest) is way too long- keep it small! Invitation 45 – 54 No Above mentions more taxes. When I want a new car I can't go to work and raise my wages. I have to live with in my means. So should city, country, state, and federal governments. Why should you raise our taxes just because the city wants something new? Why should I have to pay higher taxes for things I do not use? Invitation 45 – 54 No As mentioned before, please complete the Clear Creek path system Invitation 45 – 54 No Better management of the Clear Creek park area for its intended use as a whitewater park. Invitation 45 – 54 No Dogs love the creek. They also deserve to be able to enjoy it i.e. swim unleashed. Invitation 45 – 54 No Golden has been growing substantially and taxes are already rather steep. Why are you even asking about NEW taxes? Please manage the budget, cut waste, plan and implement against the roadmap. It is premature and irresponsible to ask for higher taxes right now... Invitation 45 – 54 No I rarely use the parks because they are resident unfriendly and way over - regulated. I'm more concerned with taking care of Senior Citizens and would like to see more programs geared toward keeping seniors engaged artistically, intellectually, mentally, and physically. Thanks. Invitation 45 – 54 No I'd definitely support a lodging tax but n ot a dedicated one unless the dedication was time/$ limited. Invitation 45 – 54 No No

104 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Additional Comments Invitation 45 – 54 No Parks & Rec should exist if a need is identified, not expand on its own (ie, I exist therefore I should expand). Invitation 45 – 54 No Thank you! Invitation 45 – 54 No The parks and trails really add to the beauty of Golden! Invitation 45 – 54 No They're great. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes Stop using signs that single out bad behavior by mountain bikes without acknowledging the impact of hiker/equestrian behavior. Mountain bike access is a very important reason why I purchased a home in Golden. User conflicts will only increase as more people move to the area and use the trails. We need to make more miles of trails to reduce the conflict between users. Hiker-only trails should not exist without complimentary bike-only trails. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes The bathrooms at lions park need to be improved and maybe add a updated changing area. The toilets are normally clogged and feces on the floors. Banning of camping/ grilling along the river during the summer would be a good idea also. Trash is being left on the riverbanks. etc. Open Link 25 - 34 Yes We would much rather pay increased taxes than have to pay for parking or user fees. Open Link 25 - 34 No Few ar ts classes offered, and few fitness classes offered for people available in evenings. No nature education programs. No improvement horticulturally in parks system. Open Link 25 - 34 No More trails. Open Link 25 - 34 No no Open Link 25 - 34 No You're doi ng a great job! Open Link 35 - 44 Yes A large sidewalk was installed on N. Ford next to CoorsTech, however, many cyclists do not use it. I am a cyclist and I use it. Maybe some sort of sign saying 'no cyclists on this section of road, use the paths' would be beneficial. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Add user fees to charge non -resident usage Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Bike access helps Buisness. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Bike park bike park bike park. It's unfortunate we have to drive to Valmont. Let's get ourselves some expansion there we can be proud of. One that brings people in and keeps our kids (and adults) busy. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Funding to support current volunteer groups that improve and maintain our trails and the golden bike park Open Link 35 - 44 Yes I think these trails and facilities are important to all Golden residents and we would gladly donate to keep them maintained and improved when applicable Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Please add Cricket Field Open Link 35 - 44 Yes Revenues could be better balanc ed by taxing or applying fees to users, such as residents and visitors. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes The public restrooms behind old capitol grill are getting bad. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes User fees for non residents of the City would be more compelling than user fees for residents. Open Link 35 - 44 Yes We love Golden and everything it has to offer. Many of the existing parks, trails, and rec center can be improved from their current state. A connecting trail from Apex to Chimney would be huge. The rec center and splash park

105 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Additional Comments get used by so many people, contributing funds to their maintenance and improvement would be beneficial. Mountain bike specific trails would be incredible and help reduce conflict with other user groups - hiking specific trails as well. Open Link 35 - 44 No Crowding is an issue. User fees for only non golden residents Open Link 35 - 44 No How about a tax on alcohol serving establishments for preservation? I also suggest creating two hour parking limits on Illinois St. between 19th and 24th street where it is not resident-only parking - this would give more access to the trail to all residents, rather than having Mines students who don't want to pay for parking park there. Open Link 35 - 44 No I do not support the increase in taxes Open Link 35 - 44 No Thank you for making parks and recreation a priority in Golden. Open Link 35 - 44 No THank you. Open Link 35 - 44 No They are already great. The classes at the History Park are too pricey to make it available to many. I work late - later hours and wkend programs would be grt. It seems like most activities are offered to mom's and retired folk. Open Link 55 - 64 Yes Golden does an AWESOME job! Open Link 55 - 64 Yes Golden is a wonderful community and we need to keep facilities and programs active and updated in order to preserve it for future generations Open Link 55 - 64 Yes I like the flowers planted in the parks, the lights put on the Clear Creek Trail at Xmas, that the parks and facilities are kept clean. Open Link 55 - 64 No Je ffco is one of the finest supporters of public use and recreation facilities I've ever seen. Keep up the good work. Help us to help you. Open Link 55 - 64 No Just please keep it reasonable as the cost to live in Golden is already high compared to other cities Open Link 55 - 64 No Need more classes in the arts within the community center. Open Link 55 - 64 No Need police to visit parks on foot on a regular basis Open Link 55 - 64 No Perhaps the hours of park maintenance could be rotated among the various parks so that one neighborhood does not always get hit with the 7am blower noise on Sundays. Open Link 55 - 64 No Stop the Smoking and Pot use. Open Link 55 - 64 No Thank you for making it a priority. Open Link 55 - 64 No The Rec Center seems to be hea vy on the administrative side as seen by someone who has worked there. Perhaps better use of our taxes could be addressed. Open Link 55 - 64 No user fee for clear creek use Open Link 55 - 64 No why don't you install more pavilions in Lions park since yo u felt it necessary to fill in the pond. will add additional revenue from rentals and for god sake get rid of the back in parking Open Link 55 - 64 Great job! Open Link 65 - 74 Yes Overall facilities and programs are well run. City residents should n ot be additionally taxed for facilities and parks heavily used by out town people. i.e. tubers, kayak, course etc. Open Link 65 - 74 No Don't sacrifice Golden's history. I volunteer at the History Center, the Library, and for a Golden small business. You market Golden as a historic Western

106 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Additional Comments town - keep that - as much as you mention Coors. Too many places lose their history and you can't get it back. Open Link 65 - 74 No Expand Senior Center activities. Open Link 65 - 74 No Golden golfers should pay si gnificantly lower fees. Rec center patrons appear to be supported better than golfers. Open Link 65 - 74 No MARKET PROGRAMS AND CLEAN UP THE PARKS Open Link 65 - 74 No Street parking fees could go to park/facilities management/uokeep Open Link 75 or No The Front Porch is very valuable for seniors. over Open Link More please! We love coming here, more trails with accessibility, parking, bathrooms, signs, museums, culture and communication. Open Link We are fortunate to have what we have. Probab ly time to consider a new and updated recreation center, however - IF that is feasible. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Generally, I appreciate Golden parks and rec. As a parent of 2 boys active in local sports, I think Golden can improve. Care and maintenance of baseball fields and related facilities (bathrooms and concessions), for example, is much needed. In surrounding areas (Broomfield, Louisville, Brighton) the fields are much better maintained. I regularly play tennis. The courts at Lyons park are ok, but I have never seen the courts cleaned or swept. Likewise, the lights should user friendly so that those of us that play early morning, not evenings, can access. Also, wind screens on the fences would provide shade and improve the courts. The decision to redo the basketball court and not add a tennis court at White Ash park was unfortunate since a number of people in the Mtn Ridge neighborhood supported the addition of courts. My youngest son is now playing and the facilities in surrounding areas are much better - Lakewood, Arvada and Denver. Further, I regularly use the rec center during the winter months. The facility is dated. The locker rooms are small. The weight room needs new equipment. Same for the aerobic area (bikes and treadmills). Golden is an active community. The rec center should reflect as much and be state of the art. Last, I think preservation of historical sites is worthwhile and good for Golden. I do not think, however, that the cost and resources that must be devoted to the preservation of historical sites should come from parks and rec dept. Funding and administration should be separated. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Golden is full of history and outdoor recreation. If it looses either, it looses its attraction. It should be accessible to all. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Maybe a goose round -up. It would be nice to walk through the parks without stepping in poo. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Overall they do a great job. It is important to stay current with the variety of outdoor activities that our community is interested in and not get stagnant. Be open to new ideas. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Parks need to be supported by both residents and park users Many Golden Parks users do not live in Golden. It is unfair to ask Golden citizens to support pristine parks and facilities solely through property taxes and bonds. All visitors to Golden Parks must financially support their maintenance, at least in part, by some type of sales tax, tourism tax, user or parking fees.

107 *Please note, comments are included from both invitation and open-link samples Survey Age Kids Additional Comments Open Link 45 – 54 Yes Please update and more water play features and water fountains. Open Link 45 – 54 Yes We should develop a better/bigger relationship with CSM. we love thier sports camps. we love the international students. Would be nice to be more of a part of the college. events. support. exchanges. knowledge sharing. hosting. also Keep street lights to minimum , especially on our residential streets. too many already on table drive, 19th area. we don't need any ! GREAT that you started patrolling the paths along the rivers with park rangers. we stopped going for awhile bc of all the drinkers, SMOKERS, people camping out. pls keep it up. also happy to have parking at the libarary for those who are at the library. we like the events, but often feel our town gets taken over and pushes us out. 4th of july is a bit too much for us. but with stricter laws, we tried it again last year. ALSO, do we still have slience is golden campaign going on? i think it helped with the load motor bikes. i am fine with them here, but good to keep them from revving their engines. thanks. keep Golden golden. Open Link 45 – 54 No Bond or tax for open space protection Open Link 45 – 54 No charge non -residents to use the parks more than residents Open Link 45 – 54 No Fund parks with additional taxes on sale of alcoholic beverages. Open Link 45 – 54 No Golden collects plenty of tax. Please divert some of the misused Public Works project budgets (like the Heritage Road project or the Stonebridge 'traffic calming' project) to Parks & Recreation in the future. Open Link 45 – 54 No If you're going to include property tax as an option, then tax the hideous and awful crap you are allowing to be built downtown, increasing density beyond capacity of infrastructure to support it. Open Link 45 – 54 No None
