Trails Experiences Study

Project Overview

As part of an effort to enhance visitor experiences along county trails, Montgomery Parks is seeking input from park users. We want to learn about the types of activities you enjoy and the topics or interpretive elements you might like to see incorporated into the trail experience. 

The online survey is for people who use natural surface and paved surface trails in Montgomery Parks. It should take around 5 minutes to complete. Your feedback will help shape the development of new materials, programs, and enhancements designed to make Montgomery Parks’ trails more engaging, educational, and welcoming for all.

Status/Project Update

The project is currently in the audience study phase.  

The online survey is currently accepting submissions and will close on June 22.  

Throughout the spring, Montgomery Parks will also host a handful of pop-up events to gather input from park users.  

Stay tuned for exact pop-up dates and locations, which will be hosted from late April to June.
