Mr. Maloney mentioned that Mr. Brents had the results of the survey. Both survey were sent to three thousand people within a two mile radius of both areas chosen at random. The survey was in English and Spanish. The survey was also available on the website. There were 220 responses for the Cactus and Randall project. Mr. Maloney continued to go over some of the more popular answers that depicted the interest of the community as asked by the survey. Two options were presented by Mr. Maloney to the Commission with the second option having a community garden taking into consideration the survey answers. A design date was scheduled and some members met at the site for a walkthrough and then met at the Grace Vargas Senior Center for a design discussion. The preferred option was priced at $5,124,000.00 for the Cactus and Randall location. The addition of an extra basketball courts and a rubberized walking path around the sports fields with exercise stations would bring the cost to about $5.3 million, option two. Commissioner Britt asked if the fields would be multi-use fields to which Mr. Maloney answered in the positive. Mr. Maloney also shared that the park would be completely fenced and could be secured at night. Commissioner Silva asked about the lighting of the park, Mr. Maloney answered that they are showing it with lights but it would be up to Council’s decision but at the very least the conduits would be in place. Mr. Brents mentioned that the deadline for the surveys was February 15th so they might still get some additional surveys in. Mr. Maloney continued to present on the Frisbee Park Expansion proposals for the North and South sides of the park which amounts to about 17 acres. Same survey process was explained. 222 survey responses were received to that date. The most popular answers were presented to the commission for amenities and events. Same design process was held with community input. The most popular amenities been more parking lot spaces and for activity a walking path. It was mentioned that the existing snack bar is not going to be touched. Both proposals were introduced with all amenities taking into consideration the community’s input, with the biggest difference been a skate park in one of the proposals. Both proposals greatly increase the available parking spaces. The preferred plan according to the planning meeting is a combination of options 1 and 2 and was priced at $10.2 million, without the batting cage area. Commissioner Sparks expressed his concern about missing a big part of the youth population if an area for skating was not included. Mr. Brents referred back to the surveys answers to which Commissioner Sparks responded that the population who answered the survey might not be representative of the needs for the youth in the area.

“Join us at one of the many City Wide Special Events” February 2017

The winter season never stops City-wide Special Events! Currently, the Special Events division is busy planning the annual Spring Eggstravaganza. This event is one of our biggest events of the year as the City of Rialto gathers to celebrate the spring season. Spring Eggstravaganza will be held on Saturday, April 15, 2017 from 11:00am – 2:00pm at Rialto City Hall. This year, Spring Eggstravaganza is taking a trip down the White Rabbit’s hole to the magical world of Al-ice in Wonderland! Children will participate in a variety of activities, including egg hunts, spring crafts, bub-ble fun, an enchanted magic show, photos with the Easter Bunny, and a thrilling experience on the spin-ning Tea Cups ride. Families are also invited to attend the Mad Hatters Tea Party to cool off with some light refreshments and delicious sugar cookies. Our goal is to provide free activities for all community members to enjoy. Businesses and organizations are encouraged to participate in the event as a vendor, information booth, or event sponsor. This year we anticipate over 3,000 people, making Spring Eggstravaganza the perfect opportunity to promote business/organizations, while making a difference in our community. All of this would not be possible without the support from community members and our dedicated volun-teers. This year, Target employees and Eisenhower High School students are helping bring the Easter Bunny, Alice, Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, and the infamous Queen of Hearts to Rialto. For more information, please contact us at 909-421-4949.

Cactus-Randall & Frisbie Park Surveys

A Project of the City of Rialto

I. INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND

The Cactus-Randall and Frisbie Park Surveys were conducted under the direction of the City of Rialto. The Resource Group (TRG), an independent applied research firm, was engaged to assist with survey methodology and design, data collection and analysis and presentation and review of findings. As part of the planning process for Cactus-Randall and Frisbie Parks, the City sought the views of local residents to determine the type of recreational facilities needed. The specific purposes of the survey effort were to learn from a sampling of area residents . . .

� Recreational activities residents are involved in most

� Usage of current recreational facilities available at area park sites and whether there is a need for more of the same facilities

� Likelihood of using proposed facilities at Cactus-Randall Park and Frisbie Park and suggestions for other types of facilities

� Likelihood of attending various community events

METHODOLOGY

Working with the City of Rialto, TRG finalized the survey instrument as a direct mail, self-administered survey form. The survey, accompanied with a cover letter from the City explaining the purpose of the survey, was mailed to a random sample of 6,000 households—3,000 within a 1-mile radius of Cactus-Randall Park and 3,000 within a 1-mile radius of Frisbie Park.

Surveys were mailed out the first part of January 2017. Residents receiving a survey were asked to mail back their completed survey at their earliest convenience in the accompanying postage-paid, pre-addressed envelope. They were also provided the telephone number of the City of Rialto if they needed the survey in Spanish or had any other questions. The survey was also made available in English and Spanish on the City’s website at www.yourrialto.com

RESPONSE RATE

By the mid-February 2017, 277 Cactus-Randall Park and 272 Frisbie Park surveys were completed, processed and included in this report.

CURRENT RECREATIONAL FACILITIES & ACTIVITIES – Cactus-Randall Park

For the next series of questions, residents were asked to indicate how often they use facilities currently available at area park sites and whether or not they see a need to develop more of these facilities at Cactus-Randall Park. The list of facilities and the percentage of respondents indicating they use the facility "often" or "occasionally" are presented in the table below. The overwhelming majority of all respondents—80% to 90%—indicate they occasionally or often use walking paths, picnic facilities, playgrounds and exercise stations at recreational facilities in the area.

RESPONDENT PROFILE – Cactus-Randall Park

Following is the demographic profile of the 277 Cactus-Randall respondents—186 mail survey and 91 online survey respondents. While slightly more females than males responded to the Cactus-Randall Park survey, among online survey respondents, females outnumbered males 2-to-1. Nearly 40% of all Cactus-Randall Park respondents were 15 to 30 years old. Since younger individuals more frequently use the Internet than their older counterparts, it’s not surprising that more of the 30 and younger respondents completed the online survey. In comparison, the majority of the 25% of Cactus-Randall Park respondents that were 60 years and older were mail survey respondents. About one-half of all Cactus-Randall Park survey respondents are Hispanic. Considering just online survey respondents, the percentage of Hispanic residents responding to the park survey was nearly 69%.

Although Spanish is the primarily language spoken at home for about 2 out of 5 responding Cactus-Randall Park respondents, only one Spanish-language online survey was complete and included in this report. About one-fourth of respondents had at least a high school degree or GED, while a nearly similar portion had a bachelor or graduate degree. A greater portion of online survey respondents had a bachelor or graduate degree as compared to mail survey respondents. Nearly 30% of all Cactus-Randall respondents have been in Rialto for 26 years or more, resulting in an average of 19 years in the city. The relatively younger online survey respondents have resided in Rialto for 16 years on average, as compared to an average of 21 years among the comparatively older mail survey respondents.

Cactus-Randall respondents had a median of 2 adults and 2 children under 18 in their household. Nearly 59% had household incomes of $50,000 or more. Given that one-fourth of mail survey respondents were 60 years or older, it follows that nearly 34% of this group had no children under 18 living in their household and lower household incomes.

CURRENT RECREATIONAL FACILITIES & ACTIVITIES – Frisbie Park

For the next series of questions, residents were asked to indicate how often they use facilities currently available at area park sites and whether or not they see a need to develop more of these facilities at Frisbie Park. The list of facilities and the percentage of respondents indicating they use the facility "often" or "occasionally" are presented in the table below. The majority of all respondents in the Frisbie Park area—66% to 74%—indicate they occasionally or often use walking paths, picnic facilities and playgrounds at recreational facilities in the area. Consistent with the finding that many online survey respondents are involved in softball and baseball, nearly 93% indicate they also often or occasionally visit a snack bar.

RESPONDENT PROFILE – Frisbie Park

Following is the demographic profile of the 272 Frisbie respondents—213 mail survey and 91 online survey respondents. While slightly more females than males responded to the Frisbie Park survey, among online survey respondents, females outnumbered males 2-to-1. About 29% of all Frisbie Park respondents were 15 to 30 years old. Among online survey respondents, 64% were 30 years old or younger, while 45% of mail survey respondents were 60 years and older. This age difference between mail versus online survey respondents is most likely due to the fact that Internet usage is more prevalent among the younger population. Among all Frisbie Park respondents, 42% are Hispanic, 28% are White and 23% are Black. Considering just online survey respondents, the percentage of Hispanic residents responding to the park survey was 69%.

Respondent Comments

Cactus-Randall Survey Respondents

RECREATIONAL FACILITIES (10)

A dog park would be highly appreciated. I have been driving out to Rancho Cucamonga or San Bernardino to take my dog to the park. Closer to home would be nice.

Adding a soccer complex should be considered because there is a lack of soccer fields in the area compared to sports such as football, basketball and baseball.

Any park with recreational activities for the youngsters will be good if it is maintained in good operation condition and also help to change the culture of some residents to be part of helping in the events to be successful.

I had no idea a park was going in there! Where can I get this info? Is it all just via the city's website? I am very much into having a park where I can safely run. That would be top of my list! Thank you!

I also want a play area for my dogs!

Interactive spaces that provide information/education for children and adults; walking paths or garden space where kids of school age could plant edibles or learn about native plants/edible landscapes/drought-tolerant plants.

One need that I personally notice is that there is not a tennis space around this neighborhood.

Please consider the needs and interests of people of all ages and ethnicities (races, nationalities - not Hispanics only).

The walking/running trail should be updated, cared for, maintained and modified.

Would love larger, well-lit walking area.

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES (1)

I have grandchildren and it is nice to have parks in the community with events going on. Their ages are from 2-13 years old.

DON’T WANT OR NEED PARK (6)

Don't want a park here

Don't care about going to parks

All of the park services are available at parks closer to my home (San Bernardino/Lilac)

If it raises my property tax I don't want it! The gangs will only take it over just like every other park in the city!

It's too much traffic there and a dumb place to put it.

I am totally disabled.

SAFETY ISSUES (3)

Keep the park nice by keeping bad element out so family and kids can enjoy the park without problems. Include police patrol.

I need a nice, safe park for my grandchildren.

Your park "Anderson" close to us on Lilac. Just invites all kinds of characters hanging around smoking, drinking, destroying the peace for decent citizens in that area! What do you think another park with do for our community?! Invite more trouble and destroy our clean community! If police would patrol these parks regularly maybe it would improve.

OTHER COMMENTS (8)

Just make a good park! Good luck!

Sounds like a great plan!

Thank you for sending this survey to me. I've been waiting for it since last meeting. If there is something I can help please let me know.

Thank you for the future of Rialto. I love to have a park close to my house. 26 years living in Rialto. This is my city.

Thank you for the park!

This is a good idea. Thanks for asking.

We have a lot of family in the area. This would be great.

We have to bring the community together by doing fun stuff so that kids stop doing bad stuff and help each other to succeed and be with their families more often. We can do this. Let's keep being awesome and bring hope and joy back. Rialto CAN!

Frisbie Survey Respondents

RECREATIONAL FACILITIES (10)

A lot of my responses were based on the fact that my grandkids and great grandkids visit often and would be more likely than I to use the facilities.

Area south of softball fields would be a good place for a dog park. Area does not need to be entirely flat.

Dog park: my family has been traveling to Rancho Cucamonga to use their dog park for years. If a dog park is being considered, use them for the example. Their park has two gated areas for large dogs and one for small dogs. Gates are locked at dusk and the park is monitored and kept clean. Rules are clearly posted. Walking running track: we use Frisbie Middle School track occasionally, but it's always muddy, unleveled and school hours limit access. A level and well-maintained walking/running track would be awesome.

I would love to see a pull-up bar as part of the proposed exercise stations.

Frisbie Park is resourced and known for baseball along with Birdsall Park. Expand Frisbie so that regional tournaments can be accommodated. Provide more soccer fields at Renaissance Rialto to provide more practice and game fields for teams. Don't forget field lighting and please don't impinge on the space for cell towers.

Having a place for children to go to after school with friends and family helps them stay out of trouble. Sports and a place to run helps kids stay healthy.

I would like to see Frisbie Park a softball complex like the soccer complex as when Eucalyptus opens up from 210 to 10 a great way to bring players from around the area together. I am basing use on when my children were younger and participated at Frisbie.

Please develop senior game and exercise areas in your general plan.

Skate park please! Also would like a dog park so I don't have to roam the streets with my dog.

Need more covered areas for picnics. Maybe even made available to reserve in advance even at a fee so you don't have to go sit at park at 5:00 am to get a spot.

OTHER PARK FACILITIES (5)

My daughter would like to see bigger/more bathrooms.

I would like to see more taco stands at night. Give the Mexican food business owner a chance to sell tacos on the street late at night.

What about parking to handle increases in traffic? We get a 4-way stop sign at Easton St & Sycamore!

Park doesn't always have enough parking in area by basketball courts.

We request no structures over one story that would obstruct our view including light fixtures that would trespass neighborhood property (lighting).

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES (3)

Fireworks like in the past.

To have fireworks like before had people coming from all over the place; put live jazz concert during summer.

We have lived across street from park 38 years. Really enjoyed July 4th fireworks when we first moved here. Enjoyed Jazz Fest last year. Grandkids visit often and would like to see more activities.

DON’T WANT OR NEED PARK (2)

Although I was very negative in my answers, it is because of my age and consequently lack of interest in most of the questions.

I own house. My son lives there but will not use park.

SAFETY ISSUES (8)

Add security. Park used as illegal dumping site. Homeless people make park unsafe.

I am sure there is a need for family events and venues but along with that, enough security to prevent trouble.

Anything to get kids back outside in a safe area that does not draw gang bangers. Outside art projects.

Frisbie Park is an isolated area and frankly don't always feel safe in the area. Good lighting and cameras would be a suggestion if wanting to increase recreational use of the park/area.

Frisbie Park has a problem with homeless people hanging around as well as many youths using the park to drink and get high. The police are not very visible or even present most of the time. My wife is presently afraid to go there with me.

Parks need to be safe and not a breeding ground for drugs or thugs. Good lighting and security are not optional but mandatory to avoid crime.

Safety is an issue for not utilizing the park to-date. Appears to be a homeless hangout.

May need security. Lighting poor at night. A lot of people parking at night. Have heard gunfire.

CLEANLINESS ISSUES (6)

Area on cul-de-sac at basketball court needs to be kept free of trash and dumping. Perhaps cameras needed to discourage the dumping.

Also have more than one cleanup day at Frisbie because there continues to be a large amount of trash that is in the undeveloped areas.

Trash is always visible on the Acacia St hill.

Needs more attention and daily care, aka a better administrator

Rialto park works really hard to keep the restroom clean. I really thank you for the hard work to keep the park so great.

Park is well-manicured overall and suited for all, especially the kids.

OTHER NEEDS (2)

It would be great to also have better restaurants and shopping centers (would love Target in Rialto). I do most of my shopping in other cities. Thanks!

Major improvements are needed on our streets. The streets Pepper, Eucalyptus and Foothill have too many holes. Why hasn't the City of Rialto considered fixing this problem? Rialto is looking pretty bad. Where is my property tax money going to?

OTHER COMMENTS (6)

Establish a program e.g. "Friends of Frisbie Park" where individuals could donate money to Frisbie for upkeep, amenities and/or equipment. And also individuals could donate time to volunteer at the park.

Frisbie Park is a very nice and useful place for a lot of families to have fun.

I'm starting to utilize the parks more. I have a 3-year old granddaughter when she stays with me on the weekends. I find the parks in Rialto are quite nice.

Thanks for having and providing Frisbie Park as a safe, fun and great place to go to during the spring, summer and fall months. Thanks and appreciation for keeping the traffic at a safe pace!

Thanks for seeking resident input prior to adding to/changing Frisbie Park!

When the 210 freeway opened for business, Frisbie Park became the face of Rialto. I am praying that something beautiful and grand for everyone in the community to enjoy and show everyone driving on the 210 freeway what Rialto can do.
