This initiative aims to understand current community values and future needs, guiding decisions that will impact recreational opportunities across the city.
In the coming days, a targeted outreach effort will see a random selection of households receive a mailed survey. This method is designed to ensure a statistically valid sample, allowing the results to accurately reflect the broader community’s sentiments. The data collected from these specific surveys will play a crucial role in informing and guiding future decisions regarding parks and recreational development within Lake Havasu City.
For residents who do not receive one of these mailed surveys, an alternative participation method is available.

This universally accessible online survey ensures that every voice in the community has an opportunity to contribute to the planning process, regardless of whether they were part of the initial random selection.

These include the city's parks, various recreation facilities, its network of trails, community programs, and other public spaces.
