The report has been filtered to show the responses for 'All Respondents'. The following charts are restricted to the top 12 codes. Do you think the project is a good idea? Yes (552) 96% No (21) 4% If no, why not? Wollaton Park is good as it is the council does not need to spend any money at all. I have been to Wollaton Park many times and the pavillion is useless. Inside seating area too small. Money should be spent on more urgent and important areas. The design is not fit for purpose and it it looks out of place. Money better spent maintaining roads and pavements should not build on parkland There is another Cafe on site which draws visitors up to the hall and the centre of the park, The other risk is the big tree at the rear of the development causing debris to fall on the building and other associated problems with safety. After a full risk assessment having an event space might well be the answer but incorparating separate toilets that can be used outside building opening hours by park users would be adventageous. it is too much money to be spent in such difficult economic times for just a lean to and decking. the decking wont last long either Money should be spent on restoring the fountain at the hall. It is a disgrace and spoilt the visitor's experience for many years. Also the paths in the lake area need attention as they are full of deep puddles after rain forcing people to walk on the grass, in turn forming muddy patches. Because there is a cafe in the courtyard and also this will stop children from coming to play football on the park, as there will be nowhere to use as a goal There is already a cafe in the courtyard, I see kids play on that space all the time, why should they have there space taken away from them when the feature you are building already exists Because the area will become overcrowded and people already use the area I always see teenages playing football on there and that is taking away land from them this is why they are on the streets because everyone is taking land from them I can't see the point of it. I can't figure out how large each room is as the plans are unreadable. There is no information on the source of heat (is it going to be heated by wood?) therefore its purpose is unclear. could be improved Because you already have one. Not as planned!!! I used park entrance and cafe in the stables. SnapSnap snapsurveys.com Wollaton Park Pavillion Development Page:2 Wollaton Park Pavillion Development Would you use the cafe/refreshment facility once open? Yes (528) 92% No (44) 8% If no, why not? I live local and don't need it. there are plenty of local pubs supplying tea, coffee etc Don't have children so prefer to sit somewhere quieter Because i take picnics when i go out. I could use it if i have money, but money is tight and bills are frequent. I live too far away. Also the Wollaton Castle cafe is grossly overpriced, and I don't suppose this will be any different. I live nearby and my children are grown. I think the development will be great for families & for bringing people to the park. No need of a café in this area. Can easily go elsewhere. I live in Wollaton so don't think I would need to stop for food or drink its only a very short walk home but for people coming from farther a field it's excellent. Limited space, not enough outside space. Looks dull. I don't think I even know where this is. I presume the "main entrance" is the one for the car park near the Chinese restaurant? I never go in there as I live to the south. I say no as I am not certain I would. I would have nothing against using them but I am closer to other parks and spaces than I am to Wollaton It would probably be busy See previous Don't tend to go that side of the park. Probably wouldnt be able to afford the things sold. If I go to Wollaton park for refreshmenst I take a picnic bring my own food not unless i had to. and even then the prices for a cup of tea or coffee will no doubt be ridiculously overpriced It doesn't appeal to me. Because it's right next to the playground, so I think it would be more for families with young children. Live close by, don't usually pass this area in the park on our walks (prefer to go around the lake and hall/gardens) I rarely use this end of the park as it is focused mainly on the playground and is not the most attractive part of the park. To be honest, I would have thought a cafe where it used to be (part way up the hill from the lake near to the Industrial Museum and overlooking the lake) would be more attractive, although I guess it would be a bit too close to the current café. I live 5 minutes walk from the Harrow rd exit, so I would go home for a cup of tea. Said no as I would only use it occasionally. Probably not as we live very close by but if we had visitors we might. Sorry not to be more decisive. Because there is a shop round the corner and there are toilets over the road There is a cafe in the courtyard I'll use that Because it's not in my interest SnapSnap snapsurveys.com Wollaton Park Pavillion Development Page:3 Wollaton Park Pavillion Development If no, why not? Don't like the location of the play area. It's very dangerous with children crossing over the road from the car parks especially at busy times. Not a great location on all that space to be honest. Need decent toilets and not sharing one. i walk my dogs don't pay for Coffee when I can drink at home and it is just a way to make money and probably unhealthy too I live close by and the park charge far to much for basic refreshments. We should take examples from the likes of Markeaton Park in Derby where a family can have a trip to the park with refresh,ends and activitities for a very reasonable price. Location less appropriate than existing. No children, live very near. Night use if grandchildren visit I mostly stay up this end Rarely vistist woolaton and unlikely to make a special; visit. We prefer more play equipment. The is a great deal of nightime vandalism in the park...need at least shutters. Use the next to the hall, unless I'm with grandchildren Live 5mins away Do you have any ideas on how the flexible community space could be used? Please write below: You need to enure that the prices are reasonable..otherwise people will bring there own food and drink and not bother.... Also could have a bar area serving beers/ciders etc More indoor seating needed, you'll probably get a lot of people with prams in there Give Wollaton hall and park to the National Trust they will look after it much better. Let out to small community groups or groups that can be accessed by all interested members of the community eg knit and natter or craft groups, community choirs, scouts/guides, etc. Groups that would only need the use for 1 or 2 days a week at most to give variety of use. Community groups and clubs. Having a flexible space with opportunity to enable it to be let out for parties wedding etc. Picnic area for families with decent toilets and drinking water fountains Use some space for advertising upcoming events at Wollaton Hall and Park. The rest of the space could be used for local groups i.e. craft displays, small demonstrations etc. Variety of workshops that could be leaded by local charities for example or passionate people who would like to share their hobbies or knowledge. Mum's groups, school group lunches, children's birthday party, would it be open all year round or just summer. Courses or activities for children Childreen birthday parties, group sleepover, clubs physical activities; meeting place for groups walking the park with interest in the trees, wildlife, etc, possibly with talks and lectures. To educate people on wildlife, flora and fauna in the park, promote care for the environment. Crèche Parties for children i.e. daytime or very early evening. Office space for community projects. a) by visiting school, pre-school and youth groups who need a dry base for activities. b) by resident arts, crafts, artists as an attraction of the park. wildlife/birdwatch area, mother and toddler day,souvenir shop, It would be a popular place to hire for children's parties due to the access to the park & playground.

Please write below: class rooms for educational visits by schools N/A Soft play area. Any opportunity to create revenue could be explored perhaps as well as providing a badly needed youth club for the area.
