During this master planning effort, the consultant
team utilized an online community engagement
platform known as Social Pinpoint to collect
feedback from residents about the park and
recreation system. The team created and
published a custom website (www.kcparks2032.
com) and with the help of Kansas City Parks
and Recreation staff, the launched the website
in August, 2022. The website, among other
features, provided visitors a direct portal to
the Social Pinpoint website for the project.
Once in the Social Pinpoint website, visitors
could navigate an interactive map of Kansas
City, Missouri with all existing parks, trails, and
community centers highlighted. Visitors could
leave comments by dropping a “pin” on the
location of their choice. Visitors were instructed
to leave comments that fit one of four different
types::
• Things You Like
• Things You Dislike
• Ideas for Improvements
• Causes for Concerns
In addition to leaving their own unique comments,
visitors could also view the comments of others
and even “like” or “dislike” them. Between August
31, 2022 and May 27, 2023, the website received
3,394 visits from 1,213 unique users. Ultimately
214 unique stakeholders left 603 distinct
comments. Those comments are provided on
the following pages. This chart provides the
date and time the comment was left, the type of
comment, the f ull text of the comment itself, the
number of “likes” or “dislikes” it may have received,
and the park, trail, or facility to which it pertains.
