WHY PEOPLE COME TO THE PARK NOW
The number of hearts shows the popularity of the scenario among the participants of the meeting.
♡♡♡♡♡ (54%) Take a walk ♡♡♡♡♡ (54%) Meet friends, family ♡♡♡♡♡ (54%) For events (for example, Family or Gastro fest) ♡♡♡♡ (45%) Visit a cafe nearby (for example, Cafe#2) ♡♡♡♡ (45%) To the sports ground (football, basketball, workout) ♡♡♡ (32%) Relax with children (play on the playground, ride the rides)
Only 12% of the respondents pass through the park only for transit (!) - all the rest go to it as a public space! Among the participants, the most popular scenarios are: attending events, walking and resting with friends / family (they are chosen by more than 50% of participants). Only 1 participant of the seminar visits the stadium and sports school, so it was difficult to evaluate them at the meeting. Only two participants fish in the park and walk their dogs - this is not surprising, because the park does not have suitable infrastructure, and fishing is completely prohibited by signs.
