Parks Hours / Use Survey
Thank you for your interest in providing feedback. This survey contains 15 questions and should take approximately 10 minutes or less to complete.
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the use of parks during current hours of operation, and get feedback about whether or not a change in operating hours would better meet the needs of Apex residents. In addition, we are looking for feedback on often our lighted park amenities are used. The impacts to residents who live adjacent or in close proximity to parks is also being evaluated.
The results will be presented to both the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Advisory Commission and Town Council for consideration of any recommendations.

Town of Apex parks generally fall into 2 classification types - Community parks and Neighborhood parks. These classifications are based on size, recreation features, and location (how most visitors arrive at the park). The hours of operation have typically been similar for parks in the same classification.
