Results are <br />shown in Figure 20. The survey results show that the top three activities for parks and <br />trails were hiking, biking and picnicking, followed closely by swimming, fishing and use <br />of playgrounds. These results for the hiking, biking and picnic areas, provide support <br />for the projects outlined in this master plan amendment. As does the preferred trail <br />surfacing results as shown in Figure 21. In addition, when asked how users typically <br />access the parks, the <br />majority said drive, but <br />41 % said walk or bike, <br />as shown in Figure 22. <br />Figure 23, shows the <br />preferred method of <br />accessing a park. 62% <br />would prefer to walk or <br />bike to a park as <br />opposed to having to <br />drive. Again, this shows <br />support for the trail <br />projects outlined in the <br />amendments and <br />shows the importance <br />of connectivity <br />throughout the local <br />and regional trail <br />systems. <br />Park Amenity Use Survey Results <br />Hiking 218 <br />Picnic Areas 184 <br />Biking 121 <br />Swimming 120 <br />Fishing <br />Playgrounds <br />Dog Parks <br />Camping <br />Canoeing & Kayaking <br />Cross Country Skiing <br />Boat Launches <br />Pokemon go <br />Programs/Kids Programs <br />Disc Golf <br />Horseback Riding <br />Archery <br />Geocaching <br />Snowshoeing <br />Sports Field 5 <br />0 50 100 150 200 250 <br />79 <br />70 <br />58 <br />42 <br />! 32 <br />S 29 <br />I! 27 <br />! 25 <br />! 25 <br />MI 22 <br />! 21 <br />I! 20 <br />19 <br />18 <br />FIGURE 10 <br />3/6/2017 Mississippi West Regional Park Master Plan Amendment 15 <br />
