Parks & Recreation - Community Attitude Survey

The Gaines Charter Township Parks & Recreation Committee is currently in the process of preparing a new Parks and Recreation Plan in order to be eligible for certain state grant opportunities. In order to gauge the opinions of residents regarding parks and recreation within the Township, this survey has been created. The survey will be sent out in the May 5, 2009 addition of the Southeast and Southwest Advance Newspapers. The Parks & Recreation Committee is asking that each household within the Township complete and return the survey to one of the locations indicated on the survey. Or you can simply print the survey from the Township website and return it to one of the locations. The Committee is hoping that a large number of surveys are returned, so please take part!! If you have any questions about the survey, please contact us via email at megan.sharp@gainestownship.org. Thank you!!
