Survey: Residents Back Fee Increase to Fund Parks

The 2013 survey showed broad backing for Hopkins' green spaces and recreation opportunities.

This spring, the City of Hopkins surveyed residents for the first time since 2007.

Minneapolis-based Decision Resources called 400 randomly selected households—on cell phones and landlines—to find out exactly what residents thought about their community (at least within the ±5 percent margin of error). The results were overwhelmingly positive.

In the coming days, Patch will be taking a look at what the survey found. In this edition, we examine what residents thought about parks and recreation.
