Parks, Recreation, and Golf Fee Study
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 will include robust community engagement that includes an online survey and focus groups, and presentations to staff, boards and committees, and City Council.
How Can I Get Involved?
Community Engagement Survey
Your feedback on this 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. The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete, and all responses are anonymous.
- Take the Community Engagement Survey
- Survey Closes: Aug.13.
Focus Groups
Virtual focus groups will be small, guided conversations (lasting about 60–90 minutes) held in August to gather direct insights on fee barriers and opportunities for parks, recreation, and golf from the community, including needs, priorities, and facility preferences. Interested in joining? Complete the Focus Group Volunteer Interest Form by July 25.
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.
