Project Background

This project will help ensure that Lafayette’s parks, recreation, and golf facilities and services remain strong and sustainable for years to come. By studying the costs to run these programs and setting an informed pricing model, we can plan more effectively for the future, making sure we have the resources needed to maintain and improve the places and services our community relies on.

Lafayette's Engagement Principles

The City of Lafayette is committed to continuing to build a connected, inclusive, and resilient community. We value open communication, accessibility for all, and the diverse perspectives that make our City stronger.

Your Voice Matters

We want to better understand the community's needs, priorities, and facility preferences as part of this study.

This project has included robust community engagement that includes an online survey and focus groups with the community. Presentations to staff, boards and committees, and City Council will be conducted in the early fall of 2025.

How Can I Get Involved?

Community Engagement Survey

The survey closed on Aug. 13. Feedback from the survey will help guide future improvements for parks, recreation, and golf facilities and services, and help the City understand what programs and services matter most to our community.

Focus Groups

Virtual focus groups of small, guided conversations (lasting about 60–90 minutes) will be completed in late August to gather direct insights on fee barriers and opportunities for parks, recreation, and golf from the community, including needs, priorities, and facility preferences.

What Happens After the Study?

Community feedback will be reviewed and incorporated into a fee model proposal. This proposal will be shared with City Council for review and consideration in fall 2025.
