Demographics ....................................................... 3 IV. Survey Results ........................................................ 5 V. Conclusion ............................................................ 19 Executive Summary Champaign-area residents were asked to participate in an anonymous survey to help the District’s marketing department evaluate a number of public perception and marketing areas. The survey included questions about commonly associated parks, facilities, events, and programs as well as questions about effective marketing avenues, the website, and online registration as well as the public’s perception of the District as a whole. A total of 249 complete and valid survey responses were received. The survey was promoted on Facebook and Twitter as well as by staff and through listservs from April 4th through May 1st, 2014. The survey data provides clear goals, focus areas, and suggestions for staff although the small sample size may limit the survey’s overall representativeness. Staff should consider the results in context and look for overall themes as the sample size was not large enough to provide detailed representative data. Methodology The survey questions were developed with input from marketing professionals, marketing staff, Directors, and general staff with a known interest in either marketing or survey research. Several drafts of the survey were sent to this group who were asked to respond to the questions and make suggestions for possible changes, additions, or deletions. The final survey form was created on Survey Monkey and the link was distributed via email, social media, and staff contact lists.

  • Walking for Life: Addressing Health in Champaign's
    Tyler Zwagerman UIUC DURP 2014 Masters Candidate Walking for Life: Addressing Health in Champaign’s Pedestrian Plan P a g e | 2 Acknowledgements May, 2014 I undertook this project for practical reasons, hoping to take advantage of good timing, study a topic that matched my interests, and contribute to a planning process aimed to improve the quality of life in Champaign, Illinois. A traumatic health situation, the 2014 polar vortex, and series of interviews with concerned community health professionals made me realize that working for complete, accessible, and well-maintained pedestrian systems is more than a practicality. High quality pedestrian networks are essential elements for life in a safe and healthy community. I would like to extend a special thanks to the Champaign-Urbana professionals who shared their time and perspectives, the City of Champaign Planning and Development Department who gave me the opportunity to become involved with their Pedestrian Plan process, my colleagues and friends in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning whose conversations and feedback were invaluable to this work, and to my wife, Jenny who literally helped me get back on my feet this semester. Without your contributions and support, this project would not have been possible. Best wishes whichever path(s) you take, Tyler Zwagerman P a g e | 3 Table of Contents I.

  • 2019-2029 Comprehensive Plan [This Page Is Intentionally Left Blank.] February 27, 2019
    2019-2029 Comprehensive Plan [This page is intentionally left blank.] February 27, 2019 Dear Champaign Park District Residents, Our parks and recreation system is a reflection of the community’s long held values and support for park land, green space, fitness and wellness. Today’s sys- tem of urban parks, trails, recreation facilities and pro- grams is a major contributor to Champaign’s nationally acclaimed high quality of life and the result of the com- munity support and investment. For over 100 years, the Park District has promoted the community’s access to nature, health, and wellness in the areas of parks and recreation. It is in this tradition that we are proud to submit the Park District’s Comprehensive Plan. This plan presents the framework and policy that will assist and guide the Park District in the stewardship of our parks, recreation facilities and programs. The Com- prehensive Plan includes broad policies and initiatives that will help shape the services that the Park District will provide to the community over the next ten (10) years. We invite the reader to delve into the details of the plan to see first-hand how the outlined strategies blend the analysis of parks and facilities with the community’s current and future needs, and the order in which the Park District intends to undertake them. This plan is a strategy moving forward. We are not committing to all ideas detailed in the Comprehensive Plan, but instead will explore all options and look to the community prior to committing to implement any project.

All possible alternatives for the trail system were presented throughout these processes and have gone through consultation and updating.

    Active Choices Champaign County Greenways & Trails Plan Existing Conditions 10 EXISTING CONDITIONS 10.1 Existing Conditions: Greenways A greenway is a corridor of open land managed for conservation and/or recreation. Greenways may follow natural land or water features such as rivers, shorelines or ridges, or human landscape features such as abandoned railroad corridors, trails, or canals. Greenways may form connections between communities, parks, historic and cultural sites, and nature preserves. Although they differ in their location and function, they provide recreational benefits, protect natural areas, enhance natural beauty and quality of life, and/or stimulate economic development opportunities in neighborhoods and communities. Four types of greenways are described in this section, by jurisdiction: • Public Park: publicly owned park available for public use. • Public Golf Course: publicly or privately owned golf course available for public use. • Public/Private Recreational: privately owned recreational land available for public use. • Private Recreational: privately owned recreational land not available for public use. Recreational and athletic facilities that Greenways & Trails member agencies own, manage, or use are also listed. 10.1.1 Champaign County Champaign County is located in the heart of east-central Illinois. Champaign and Urbana, Champaign County’s primary cities, are approximately 136 miles south of Chicago; 120 miles west of Indianapolis, Indiana; and 165 miles north-northeast of St. Louis, Missouri (see Maps 1-3).

CHAMPAIGN PARK DISTRICT REPORT TO PARK BOARD FROM: Joe DeLuce, Executive Director DATE: October 17, 2018 SUBJECT: Flower Program Updates Background As staff enter the design and bidding season for the 2019 annual flower beds, it is a good time to assess the overall health and direction of our Park Flowers and Flower Island programs. The most recent discussion of the annual flower programs hinged on the costs associated with them. As a reminder, here are the relevant numbers from the past five (5) years. YEAR NUMBER OF FLATS COSTS AVG COST/FLAT 2014 5644 $81,933.25 $14.52 2015 5590 $84,609.00 $15.14 2016 5693 $96,018.25 $16.87 2017 5245 $94,575.00 $18.03 2018 4795 $93,655.40 $19.53 The above chart reveals staffs recent trend of ordering fewer flats. This is a direct result of staffs focused attempts at reducing the size of many of the larger annual beds and thus, the materials and labor costs that are associated with them. Staff continue to do so without adversely affecting the visual performance of these beds.
