Important Public Input for Parks in Oklahoma

The following is from our friends at Oklahoma State University and the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department:

Every five years the State of Oklahoma is required to develop a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) to continue eligibility for certain federal grant programs. These grant programs and the statewide plan are directly beneficial to local communities and to Oklahoma through planning and development of infrastructure and economic development. Oklahoma State University has contracted with the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department to prepare the SCORP.

As a member of the public interested in parks and recreation, your responses to an online survey are important because you will be representing your community in this planning effort. Because of this, the information you provide will help us plan for future recreation needs and continue Oklahoma’s eligibility for several federal grant programs. 

Please click on the link (https://goo.gl/Q1czeQ) to complete the online survey. The survey will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Staff at OSU will be conducting the data analysis and preparing the report for the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. Your voice is extremely important in planning for the future!

If you have any questions about this project at any time, please contact Dr. Fatemeh (Tannaz) Soltani, Research Assistant Professor at OSU by phone at (405) 744-9166 or by email attannaz.soltani@okstate.edu.
