Figure 3: Quality of FVMRD Facilities – Residency Status
Importance of Potential Fraser Valley Sports Complex Improvements – Respondents rated the importance “for you or your family” of a list of potential improvements to the FVSC using a scale from 1 to 5 where 1 is “not at all important” and 5 is “very important.” Overall, most facilities received average importance ratings of 2.5 or less on a five point scale. The highest importance ratings were provided for refrigeration of Icebox (average 2.6), expanded and enhanced playgrounds (2.4), lighting of fields (2.4), added lighting of parking lot and pedestrian ways (2.4), and a paved parking lot (2.2). Respondents gave lower ratings to additional courts and fields including volleyball (1.8), basketball (1.7), and soccer (1.7). Figures 4 and 5 depict a priority of improvements at the Sports Complex and Pole Creek Golf Course as indicated by local and by part-time residents. While local residents seem to prefer lengthening of the Icebox season and lighting of fields, part-time residents seem to prefer expanding and enhancing playgrounds and paving of parking lots
