Feedback on community parks and recreation

The Town of Pagosa Springs would like your feedback on parks and recreation activities and services that you feel are important in our community.

There is a short 10-question survey that it would like for you to take. The questions range from what parks, amenities and services you utilize to additional amenities you would like to see, and your feedback on parks funding mechanisms and collaboration efforts.

You can access the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6ZMC26B or you can pick up hard copies at the Chamber and then drop them off at Town Hall by June 22. It is important to assess what amenities are best utilized as we plan for the future. Weigh in on this important topic in our community and fill out the survey.
