City of Sausalito Comprehensive Community Park Use & Recreation Survey
The City of Sausalito is seeking community input on how our parks, waterfront spaces, and recreation facilities are currently used and how they should evolve in the future. Your responses will help inform priorities related to amenities, programming, maintenance, accessibility, and long‑term
planning. The survey includes both multiple‑choice questions (quantitative data) and open‑ended questions (qualitative data). All responses are anonymous (unless you provide your personal information in your comments to the survey).
