Fonde Fit Survey

The people have spoken: What would our residents like to see at Fonde Park?

How can the Fonde Civic Club make it easier for you to exercise? (e.g., What events would you participate in? And what would you come out to?)

Better lighting at the park.

Zumba sounds fun! Maybe something after work during the weekday once the sun is less hot

Yoga or Tai Chi

Bayou water ways trail, help clean it up, expand the trails

Walking/running groups that meet consistently.

I come to this park because of the dog park. However the dog park doesn't have any way to keep the dogs in these days so it would be great to have the dog park fencing fixed.

Community Marathons

Bike fairs, walks

build a calisthenic area, all competitiveness

Morning yoga on the weekends

Do you feel safe exercising in the community? What can the Fonde Civic Club do to make you feel safer?23 responses

Better lighting around the park

more lights and group events

Way more lighting and sidewalks

not very safe, gang related activity, hears gunshots at road.

No. Having more lights in the evening and more patrols by the park. I would love to have an evening group meet but with random shootings, I’m hesitant. I go to Memorial park at night, where there are more people and more police in the area.

I feel safe when I'm there during the day.

feels safe

pretty safe, dog problems (stray dogs,) people at night

Get crackheads out of the street & into rehab

Taller gates.

convince HPD to be more proactive about the frequent gunfire in this area

No

Yes.

Yes, more light

Security cameras

Have more police, she feels safe. Hears about more shootings, slightly worrisome. Lots of dangerous dogs.

i don't feel safe going long distances on my own for too long. I try to go when it's daylight

Yes I feel safe exercising in this community

No - Maybe some surveillance

Bring people out for group activities, play friendly happy music

If we can keep homeless and illegal camping out of bayou and I45 corridor and have safety patrols to curb gunfire, I would fell safe exercising in park

yes, more lighting

No, maybe increase numbers
