SPRD seeks community feedback on programs

Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD) is hosting community focus groups on June 2-3 to hear from district residents about recreation needs. With a focus on programming, the District is seeking feedback specifically on programs and services that are important to the community and what is currently missing from the SPRD lineup.

3J Consulting has been hired by SPRD to conduct this needs assessment, which allows for a more efficient and impartial process.

In addition to conducting a recreation programming needs assessment, SPRD is working closely with the City of Sisters on their parks master plan update. While the parks master plan update focuses on planning for future infrastructure needs to support increased park and recreation amenities, both agencies expect to gain valuable information through their respective community outreach processes. By collaborating, the City and SPRD hope to benefit from information collected without duplicating

efforts.

“SPRD and the City have worked closely over the last few years to better serve the community by partnering on projects and programs. This is another example of that strong partnership, which provides greater benefits to both City and SPRD residents,” said Jennifer Holland, SPRD executive director.
