Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach, CA - The City of Long Beach is taking steps to promote and enhance physical and social activity for middle school-aged youth through a new community survey. The Departments of Parks, Recreation and Marine (PRM) and Health and Human Services (Health Department) have joined forces to gather insights from young residents on how local parks can better support their health and wellbeing.
The survey, available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Khmer, and Tagalog, is open now through Thursday, May 22. It aims to engage middle school youth ages 11 through 14 with questions about their preferences, interests, and barriers to participating in outdoor activities. By collecting this data, PRM and Health hope to gain a better understanding of the specific needs and desires of young park-goers in order to create a more impactful and enjoyable experience.
Parks have long been known for their numerous health benefits both physically and mentally. They provide fresh air, services and resources that promote exercise and fitness, sports and recreational programs, as well as space for social connection. This survey will help ensure that these benefits are tailored to the needs of the community.

The survey can be accessed online at LBParks.org or completed in-person at any of the five designated park facilities during normal business hours. These facilities include Cesar E. Chavez Park, Drake Park, Freeman Center, Martin Luther King Jr. Park, and McBride Park.
In addition to providing valuable feedback for the city's parks departments, youth who fill out the survey online or at any of the designated park facilities will also have a chance to win prizes such as t-shirts, hats or gift cards from local vendors.
This initiative aligns with PRM's Strategic Plan goal (4-1-A) as well as the Health Department's Youth and Emerging Adults Strategic Plan Goal 1. Both plans aim to encourage medical professionals to recommend spending time in parks when appropriate.
For media inquiries, please contact Jane Grobaty, Community Information Officer for the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine at 562.570.3233 or Jane.Grobaty@longbeach.gov. This survey is just one of the many efforts being made by the City of Long Beach to promote a healthy and active lifestyle for its residents, especially its youth.
