Urban Green Space Report, Volume 1 Summary Statement Urban Green Space Report, Volume 1 Summary Statement By: Keith Dewar and David Gao Prepared for: Community University Research Alliance University of New Brunswick – Saint John Funded by: 1 Acknowledgements0B This project succeeded because of the hard work of a number of students and community people who helped with the collection and analysis of the data as well as doing a great deal of the research. They included: • David Gao, our statistician who spent a great many hours slaving over a computer or outside downloading traffic and trail data, • Alison Gayton, who helped get the project started and did all of the historical interviews and radio programs, • Ryan McAllister whose local knowledge and passion for parks helped with surveying and community relationships, • Yibo Li who did the research on other cities’ urban park systems, • In addition our other surveyors, Marcey Bickford, Nicole Rossley, and Mark McColgan, and my Natural Area Management class. Thanks to Nicole Johnston, Eri Higuchi, Caixian Tan, Yukie Kawazu who did the Cruise Ship study, Prof. Gary Worrell and his recreation students, Andrew Jones, Fred Walsh, Ashley Stewart, Vicki Tracy, and Sarah Vincent who did such a great job on the non participant study. As part of the Natural Area Management course several background reports were produced including: Rockwood Park by Chelsea Belyea, Margaret Breau and Jillian Howarth; Irving Nature Park by Patricia Johansson and Kathryn Meredith. We also had a great deal of help from the community particularly: Kelley Honeyman, Irving Nature Park; Kevin Watson and Bernie Morrison, City of Saint John Parks; Yves Leger, City of Saint John, GIS manager; Tim Vickers ACAP; and David Goss, local historian. Tracey Chiasson, CURA coordinator … what would we have done without her! Lastly, thanks to Dr. Robert MacKinnon for inviting us to take part in the project.

The purpose of this qualitative work is to complement the statistical data and to ultimately provide recommendations and suggestions for the sustainable development of a first class system of open green space in the town. Volume II provides a statistical summary of major park usage collected over a 42 month period from 2005 to 2008 during the months April to December and provides detailed information on who visited, when and why. The survey also provides comments and suggestions from nearly 800 visitors to the park system. 5 1.01B Key Findings • Almost all of the city’s green open space is exclusively used by local residents with 5,000 people visiting Rockwood and Irving Nature Park on a regular basis (more than 5 times a year). Other local residents may visit the parks on occasion. Approximately 30% of Saint John and area residents never or rarely visit the city’s open green spaces. • Saint John has a relatively high proportion of passive green space when compared to other similar communities in Canada, • All the sites studied show that use is largely by local residence within 15 to 20 minutes of the park, use by tourists and other non residents forms less than 6% of total usage, the most utilized local parks in order of visits are: o Rockwood Park (year round) o Irving Nature Park (year round) o King’s Square East (year round) o Reversing Falls Complex (including , Reversing Falls, Wolastoq, and Falls View Parks, year round particularly Reversing Falls Proper) o Harbour Passage (partially open in the winter season) o Fort Howe (open seasonally, April to December) o Dominion Park (Summer season) o Queens Square (east and west) and King’s Square West (year round) o Tucker Park (April to November) o Mispec Park/Beach (this park was not studied but it is suggested visitation is about the same as Dominion Park, Summer season but with more fall and spring use) Other parks and open areas do attract significant numbers of tourists, these include: • Reversing Falls Complex (including , Reversing Falls, Wolastoq, and Falls View Parks), approximately 65% of visitors are tourists excluding restaurant users, • King Square East • Harbour Passage • Rockwood Park (however its tourist visits account for less than 6% of total visits to the park). Undeveloped but with high potential for both local and tourist use is, • Partridge Island 6 Reversing Falls sees by far the most tourists with approximately 65% of May to September visitors being from out of town. However, their stays are short and tour bus operators rate the site as a must see rest stop on the way to somewhere else with little to recommend it as a sight. King’s Square per unit area is likely the most utilized of all the city’s parks in the months April to November. It is impossible to count exact numbers but it is a four season park that serves many purposes from a relaxation area for busy town’s folk and a sunny communication venue for seniors, to an interesting photo opportunity for visitors. Harbour Passage is largely a link connecting downtown Saint John to the Westside. It also serves as a strolling and exercise venue for visitors and residence alike and is popular year round receiving high praise from all who visit. 2.02B Recommendations and Suggestions Table 1, Recommendations and Suggestions Recommendation Action Implications Priority Management Issues/Item 1 Increase park Prepare parks and Increase
