CPRS Public Opinion Market Research Discovers
98% of Californian Households Visit a Park Once a Year

For the past year, CPRS undertook a public opinion research study to determine how the public values parks and recreation. This research was in support of CPRS' interest in branding parks and recreation as an essential community service.

Knowing what others say and think about you is critical to understanding and communicating your brand. In this case, our objective was to better understand how Californians and civic leaders perceive parks and recreation, so we targeted the general public and locally elected officials. CPRS is the first organization to have undertaken so comprehensive a study of public perceptions of parks and recreation.
