Waterlow Park Survey 2020
Between 18 November and 30 December 2020 The Friends of Waterlow Park asked Park Users for their ideas about the park. The questionnaire was delivered and publicised via our mailing list, website, Twitter, local networks and flyers in the park. This was a first online survey for us and we were gratified by the 328 responses, the enthusiasm for the park, learning the things you like and don't like and your ideas for improvements - 172 in all. We will study these and discuss their feasibility with the park managers. For data protection we have removed the answers to Q's 6&7 and summarised them in a separate document available on our website (URL). Again our thanks to all who took the trouble to participate,
