The Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Department is conducting a survey of the community’s leisure needs and wants to hear from local residents, business owners, sports groups, arts groups, and any other interested parties via a series of public meetings.
Responses gathered at the meetings will be used to develop an action plan that will provide a preliminary evaluation of the city’s current recreation programming desires and demands, and potential public art installations.
Following are the meeting dates and locations:
Tuesday, Jan. 14, 6-7:30 p.m. at the Veterans’ Memorial Community Center, 313 W. Tunnell St.
Wednesday, Jan. 15, 8:30-10 a.m. at Minami Community Center, 600 W. Enos Drive.
Thursday, Jan. 16, 5:30-6:30 p.m. ZOOM meeting. Meeting ID: 261 104 069 928. Passcode: QH3eE9z8.
An additional opportunity to share thoughts is offered via an online survey available in English and Spanish at https://engageberrydunn.mysocialpinpoint.com/city-santa-maria-leisure-needs-five-year-master-plan.
The city has hired BerryDunn, LLC, an award-wining consulting firm, to oversee the Leisure Needs Assessment and implement the meetings where residents’ voices can be heard.
