Abstract

This report presents the results of a community recreation needs assessment for the Madras Area. The Community Planning Workshop (CPW) worked with Madras Aquatic Center (MAC) staff and a group of local stakeholders to identify expanded program options and to develop a financial assessment of providing expanded programs through the MAC. The analysis evaluated a broad spectrum of organized recreation activities that could be provided or expanded in Madras. The assessment includes recommendations and outlines implementation strategies.

Description

The purpose of this project is to analyze recreation needs within the greater Madras area. The project takes a broad view of recreation and includes an assessment of a range of programs that target groups from youth to seniors. The intent of the assessment is to determine: (1) community demand for recreational programs (often called a needs analysis), and (2) the financial feasibility of providing those programs.
