    CITY OF GOLDEN PARKS & RECREATION SURVEY RESULTS JUNE 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS METHODOLOGY & SELECTED FINDINGS DEMOGRAPHICS CURRENT FACILITIES FUTURE FACILITIES, AMENITIES, & SERVICES FINANCIAL CHOICES/FEES 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.
