County of San Luis Obispo Parks & Recreation Diversity, Inclusivity, and Equity Community Assessment Survey
The County of San Luis Obispo Parks & Recreation Department (County Parks) provide recreation opportunities for the County’s 282,000 residents over approximately 3,600 square miles. The Department provides a variety of services, from boating and fishing on Lopez Lake to picnics at Shamel Park or biking on the Bob Jones Trail to golf at Chalk Mountain in Atascadero. The Department is responsible for many locations, services, facilities, and opportunities for County residents’ recreational needs.
This survey was created based on the County’s desire to understand public perceptions of diversity, equity, and inclusivity. The main areas to be assessed included County Parks programs and services, facilities, and staff who interact with the public. The survey focuses on interactions with County Parks personnel, accessibility at County parks, and perceptions of DEI in programs and services. The survey also includes demographic questions to help the Department understand the opinions of many stakeholder groups.
We invite you to take a few minutes to complete the survey. All responses are anonymous and the data will be used to help the future of County Parks. Click here to take the survey.

We appreciate your time and feedback on this important issue. If you have questions or concerns, you can contact Parks & Recreation Director, Tanya Richardson.
