Note: County finalized the survey summary data on Apr 26th. It contains some minor corruption on a few of the questions and a few anomalies: While these errors are minor, we have asked County to review the survey and correct their numbers – when they do, the charts and graphs here may be updated. For now, the above numbers are based on County reported results and use of all total survey respondents to calculate percentages.
Online Results from County Survey
You can access the online survey results on the Survey Results webpage for the English based survey. The Spanish surveys are totaled separately here: Resultados encuesta española. These results are from the online survey and may not have totals from any paper surveys.

I concur with the survey results that we should preserve the trees and picnic areas.
I also want to voice a concern that introducing more sports areas opens the management of the park to potential grift and corruption from sports companies seeking to increase the sale of their products by “buying advantage” from park management and county politicians. Trees don’t place under the table bribes but as we have seen in college and professional sports bribery and corruption can occur with an overweening emphasis on sports. Let’s keep Flood Park as natural and corruption free as possible.
