Please share your feedback on the priorities we've identified so far!

Between October 2024 and December 2024, the City of New Braunfels conducted a public engagement campaign to identify community preferences as well as unmet needs within the city’s parks and recreation system. The project team collected quantitative and qualitative data through a combination of virtual (i.e., online) and in-person outreach. Additionally, the city conducted a statistically valid survey to ensure feedback matched the population demographics of New Braunfels.
