Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a results of this program, community members and visitors to Stephen will be able to experiment with music through various instruments and enjoy multi generational play time. Evaluation will occur through interviews with community members, observations of the park equipment usage, and questionaires at community events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We hoped the installing instruments in the community would spark families to spend time making music and park usage has exceeded expectations. Community members of all ages are enjoying the park and we have already received many suggestions on future improvements such as seating, additional instruments and art work. A primary goal was multi-generational enjoyment and that has been very visible.
