Declining Participation in Recreation Programs
Recreation programs are essential for building community connections, improving health, and providing social opportunities for both youth and seniors. However, declining participation is a warning sign that programs are not meeting residents' needs. Scheduling conflicts and a lack of variety have been identified as barriers, which means a refresh is necessary.
This strategy focuses on identifying key participation barriers, diversifying offerings, optimizing scheduling, and using targeted outreach efforts to bring people back. By engaging the community in shaping the future of recreation programs, you can create a lineup of activities that align with their interests and schedules, ensuring long-term participation growth.
