Update: The survey closed on September 30, 2017. Thank you for your participation. The results will be presented to the Enderby & District Services Commission later in 2017.
We want to hear from you!
Our Master Parks Plan was adopted in 2011. Since that time, many of the short-term priorities that you, the public, brought forward have been completed.
Now, we want to look at new ideas and opportunities – this is your chance to help shape the future of your parks and recreation facilities!
Frequently Asked Questions
How will this survey be used? What is a Master Parks Plan?
The intention of this survey is to provide public feedback that becomes part of a “minor update” to the Master Parks Plan.
The Master Parks Plan is a long-range planning document (20+ years). It deals with things like park land acquisition and capital improvements to parks and recreation facilities. For more information, please view our Master Parks Plan.
This minor update is intended to keep the Master Parks Plan current and ensure that short-term projects (e.g. possible to complete within 5 years) are consistent with the changing needs and wishes of the communities of Enderby and Area F. As significant public consultation occurred relatively recently during the last major update (6 years ago), the intent of this minor update is not to rewrite the Master Parks Plan completely but instead to revise it to reflect recent achievements and capture new ideas and opportunities.
What is the scope of this survey?
This survey is focused on parks and recreation facilities within Enderby and Area F of the Regional District of North Okanagan which are operated by the Enderby & District Services Commission.
This includes things like the Enderby Arena, Enderby Pool, Riverside Park (including the ball diamonds, excluding the campground), Grindrod Park, Barnes Park, Tuey Park, Riverwalk, Mabel Lake Boat Launch, Mabel Lake trails, and river hand launches.
This survey does not deal with the following:
- Shuswap River boating regulations (separate process)
- Rail trail (separate process)
- Community Halls (separate process)
- Parks and recreation facilities not operated by the Commission (note that several parks in Enderby are funded solely by the City, including Belvedere Park and Cenotaph Park, as well as most green spaces, gardens, and small trails)
What if I have a project idea that falls outside of the scope?
Project ideas that are outside of the scope will be referred as appropriate.
Project ideas that require significant analysis in order to be evaluated will be considered in terms of whether funds should be spent on a feasibility study and cost analysis.
Project ideas that fit into a longer-range timeframe for implementation will be filed in an “ideas bank” for consideration during the next major update.
Do I need to answer every question?
You do not need to answer every question. Your survey will not be rejected if it’s incomplete. However, more information will help us do a better job of considering your idea.
Should I get a lot of people to vote for my idea?
No. This survey is not a vote. Each idea that is submitted will be evaluated based on its quality. You can submit an idea once, on behalf of a user group, and it will be considered the same as if 20 people submitted the same project idea. Focus your time on explaining the greatness of your great idea – that is what will create support!
Can I submit more than 1 project idea?
Yes, but please submit each project idea separately. This will help us to keep ideas organized so that we can give each idea the attention it deserves.
Can I drop off supporting documents or photographs to accompany my proposal?
Yes. Please drop off to City Hall, preferably in an envelope. Be sure to clearly mark your name and a summary of the project so that we can match it up with your written submission.
Survey closed, thank you for your participation.
