The Auburn Parks and Recreation Department is sending out a survey to citizens asking what kind of programs they want to see in the city.
“I would encourage people in our community to take advantage of that opportunity and share your thoughts and answer those questions for parks and rec so we can better deliver the services that you’re asking for, so please be looking for that,” said Auburn Mayor Ron Anders.
The survey is a partnership with Auburn Univeristy, said Auburn Parks and Recreation Director Becky Richardson. The department is looking for thoughts on ways the programs can be expanded or on new programs completely.
“It’s an online survey and they will also have focus groups and such once the survey is complete,” she said.
