The Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources (PRCR) Department is asking local residents to participate in a series of focus groups on Wednesday, Sept. 3, designed to evaluate the town’s parks and recreation services. The PRCR Department will incorporate the focus group findings in the development of the new Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
The Sept. 3 focus groups are scheduled at the following times and locations:
- 9:30 a.m. – Northern Wake Senior Center, 235 East Holding Avenue
- 11 a.m. – Wake Forest Town Hall, 301 South Brooks Street
- 2 p.m. – Wake Forest Renaissance Centre, 405 South Brooks Street
- Area residents are also invited to attend the Master Plan Public Meeting on Sept. 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the ground floor meeting room at the Wake Forest Town Hall. The ground floor meeting room is most easily accessed via town hall’s Taylor Street entrance.
During the focus groups participants will be invited to weigh in on the extent to which Wake Forest parks and recreation facilities, programs and services meet the needs of the community. Attendees will also be asked to offer input concerning the need for additional facilities, amenities, programs and services.
Potential focus group participants may include area residents, partner agency/organization representatives, members of the business community and/or users of PRCR facilities and services.
Each focus group will last approximately 90 minutes and refreshments will be served. Each session will also include a drawing for a free gift card. Green Play, LLC, the consultant hired by the town to help guide the needs assessment, will conduct the focus groups.
