Leisure Vision
Leisure Vision is a division of ETC Institute that
specializes in conducting market research and analysis for the
parks and recreation industry. Since 1992, Leisure Vision has
conducted more than 500 citizen surveys for parks and
recreation organizations and other leisure providers in more
than 46 states.
The senior professionals at Leisure Vision include a former
parks and recreation director, a former city manager, a park
board member, and a former planning commissioner with
degrees in mathematics, business, quantitative research,
statistics, and economics. Their academic background
combined with their professional experience make them
ideally suited to help parks and recreation professionals use
market research as a powerful tool for decision-making.
Parks and Recreation
Since 1992, Leisure Vision has conducted research that has been used by organizations across the United States
to secure funding for more than $700 million of new parks
and recreation facilities, including interconnected trail
systems, open space and greenway acquisition, multipurpose
community centers, family aquatic centers, golf courses,
sports complexes, museums, cultural attractions, family
entertainment centers, regional and neighborhood parks,
and other attractions. Altogether, we have conducted more
than 500 citizen surveys on parks and recreation related
issues to support needs assessments, master/strategic
planning efforts, feasibility studies, and voter initiatives.
In addition to citizen surveys, we provide benchmarking
studies, youth surveys, focus groups, stakeholder
interviews, and the facilitation of public forums.
