Skatepark needs assessment survey results
A Skatepark Needs Assessment Survey was conducted in the spring of 2005. The survey was designed and coded by Antigonish RDA development officer Donnie Cameron. View blank survey
More than half (564) of 1049 people who completed the survey indicated that they'd "participate in skateboarding if a permanent park was constructed." Considering that 1049 people completed the survey, this indicates that the actual number of park users would be greater than 564.
