1 Community Needs Assessment Report: The McCarthy Street Park Revitalization Project Community Needs Assessments seek to gather accurate information representative of the needs of a community. Assessments are performed prior to taking action and are used to determine current situations and identify issues for action, establishing the essential foundation for vital planning. The process is an invaluable tool for involving the public in solving problems and developing goals. A needs assessment can be an excellent way for the public to become involved and contribute to the outcome.
2 Acknowledgements This report was made possible thanks to the hard work of the following Service-learning students of PSYCH-32: Introduction to Research Methods at Gavilan College, under the guidance and supervision of instructor, Sara Salinas. Alvarez, Anita Calara, Brenda Courville, Katie Enos, Katie Fox, Robin Guzman, Christa Jordan, Allison Lim, Soryun Malloy, Samantha Martinez-Ruiz, Oshiel Muhn, Donna Rodriguez Duran, Fernando Soliz, Juan Carlos Tecpile, Araceli 2
3 Overview of the Needs Assessment The following information was gathered in a community-based needs assessment conducted in Hollister, California during the fall of The project was carried out to gather input from the neighborhood residents surrounding McCarthy Street Park. The primary purpose of this undertaking was to get a better understanding of what the community would like featured at the soon to be renovated park. Method and Design Based off of a limited amount of time and our objective to gather as much data as possible, we utilized a quantitative research method in the form of a survey. Utilizing a survey allowed us to collect as much data as possible in the shortest amount of time, with a limited budget. The neighborhood surrounding McCarthy Street Park was divided into five sections (the number of neighborhood zones we established) and each group of students was assigned homes (See appendix A). As a class, we developed a one-page survey with ten questions and a comments section that would give us insight as to what the community would like to come out of the park s future renovations (See appendix B). The class researched questions from other community needs assessments and determined which questions were of utmost importance. Data Collection and Analysis The data collection phase took place from November 6 th to November 21 st. Prior to starting the survey, students posted a notice on the Facebook Hollister Neighborhood Watch page to inform residents that student researchers were going to be canvasing the area near McCarthy Street Park. Data collection was done through door-to-door surveying as well as drop- 3
4 offs and pick-ups. Some students also read surveys to participants and documented their responses for them. The data analysis phase began by discussing how we would go about dividing and counting the surveys to avoid any possible errors. The next step was to develop a system where one student would record the total number of answers we received for each question after the class collectively agreed that there were 108 surveys to analyze. There were several times where we had to stop and start over due to possible error occurrences. We aimed to minimize the possibility of errors occurring to have the most accurate survey results. Key Findings Of the 108 surveys collected, 58% percent of the respondents identified as female and 42% as male. A majority, 81%, responded, yes to the question regarding Latino descent. Latino Descent 19% 81% yes no The most popular age group surveyed was between the ages of 36 and 45; however, the total age groups surveyed were similarly distributed. Several of the participants have at least one child. 72 have children and 36 do not. One of the most striking statistics is that of the 108 people surveyed; many do not currently visit the park, yet reported that if the park were improved, they would be more likely to use the park. 4
5 When analyzing the data for the question, Do you visit McCarthy Park? respondents had to answer yes or no. Results showed that 68 participants said, yes (63%) and 40 participants said, no (37%). Do you visit McCarthy Park? 37% 63% Yes No Below is a chart of those who do not visit McCarthy Street Park and the reasons why. too far not handicap accessible nothing for kids not safe different park working/no time no kids ugly/not appealing did not know not interested If not, why? In regards to other parks visited in San Benito County, there was a variety of people that had responses such as Dunne Park (28%), Vista Park/Park Hill (24%), Veterans Memorial Park (9%), Dog park (9%), Memorial (9%), Hollister Hills (6%), Bolado Park (4%), Apricot Park (2%), Las 5
6 Brisas (2%), Hollister Historical Park (2%), Whale Park (2%), Sunnyslope Park (2%), and those who visit all parks (2%). All parks Hollister historical Park Memorial Dog park Bolado Park Hollister Hills Las Brisas Apricot Park Veterans Memorial Park Vista Park/Park Hill Sunnyslope Park Whale Park Dunne Park Which other parks do you visit? For the question, Are you aware that the county is improving McCarthy Park? There was a perfect 50/50% split of respondents being aware and unaware. 54 of the respondents answered, yes, while the other 54 responded, no. This response was interesting and led the researches to question why half the neighborhood knows what s to come and the other half do not Are you aware that the county is improving McCarthy Park? 0 Unware Aware We had a follow up question asking if the participants would be interested in visiting the park even after the park is improved. The survey data showed that 80 (74%) participants would likely visit, 22 (20%) would not and 6 (6%) stated that they would maybe visit. The ones who 6
7 responded yes may be looking forward to the improved park and the new things it will have to offer. The ones who responded, no followed up their responses with issues such as having adult children, the park is too dirty, they re not interested, or don t have the time to visit. With the 74% of those who said yes, they will visit after the renovations, the results show that the community is looking forward to the improvements and would be more than willing to share what they would like to see in the park. When the park is improved, are you more likely to visit? 6% 20% 74% Yes No Maybe If no, why not? ADULT CHILDREN TOO DIRTY NOT INTERESTED NO TIME I DON T KNOW For the final questions, community members were asked to choose features they would like to see included in the park renovations. The five most popular choices were picnic areas, play equipment, barbecue grills, lighting and basketball courts (See Appendix C). 7
8 Significance This project is important since it depicts the sentiments and desires of the residents in the area surrounding McCarthy Street Park. With only 50% of the residents responding that they were aware of the future renovations, this project will hopefully give more community members a voice. Our hopes as a class is that gathering the public s opinion will likely create more involvement and proper usage of McCarthy Street Park. 8

18 Security cameras Make it family oriented Anything for kids No sand It can be improved by adding equipment for those whom have disabilities. (magical bridge) It should feel safer for us Make it dog friendly For family No water features they can be unsanitary and waste valuable water. A playground instead of a bunch of concrete and asphalt would be cool too. Sandbox for kids leave it as turf? Fix the park please, traffic is horrible, make this place somewhere you want to end up. More maintenance and trash and recycle cans Put more play areas for the kids More trees around the park so the kids can play while we are grilling. More benches so the old people like us can rest. Would like for the kids at the school to not smoke around the park or look for trouble while the kids are around. 18
