Sandy Springs residents, we asked and YOU responded! In a recent community-wide survey that received more than 1,700 responses, we posed the question:
“When it comes to spending time with your family and friends, which of the following would you like to see more of in Sandy Springs?”
The response choices were: Family Friendly Parks & Playgrounds; Shopping/Retail/Restaurant Options; Trails; Arts & Culture; a Skate Park; more Dog Parks.
Here are the results:
- The top two selected choices, Shopping/Retail/Restaurants (403 respondents) and Trails (348 respondents) accounted for 46.05% of the total responses in the survey.
- The option that was selected the least amount of times was Skate Park (23 respondents), which only accounted for 1.41% of total survey responses.
- Of the respondents, 60% were women; 56% were married; 38% were families with children; and 66% were between the ages of 40 – 69.
| Response Option | # of Responses (% of total) |
| Family Friendly Parks & Playgrounds | 266 (16.31%) |
| Shopping/Retail/Restaurant Options | 403 (24.71%) |
| Trails | 348 (21.34%) |
| Arts & Culture | 218 (13.37%) |
| Dog Parks | 116 (7.11%) |

We also invited respondents to submit more in-depth responses using the “Other” option in our survey. We are still analyzing those responses and will report back later.
