The City of Orlando Families Parks and Recreation department have launched a new Master Plan Survey for Orlando residents.

The survey is meant to measure how residents use public park space and what they require from the department in designing future park spaces.

The survey asks for your overall satisfaction with public programming, summer camps, pools, dog parks and more and whether you think they’re even important.

Click HERE to take the survey.

To help you think about what Orlando could do with our abundant public spaces, here are some great examples from around the world. Let’s use this as an opportunity to turn up the volume a bit in The City Beautiful.

Heck, we have the best theme parks in the world right here in Orlando, let’s get those park planning brains involved with our public parks and see what we can all come up with together.
