Help Us Build a Better Backyard: 2026 Community Recreation Survey

As Hiawatha grows, we want our programs to grow with you. Whether you’re looking for more youth sports, arts workshops, or better ways to stay informed, we need your feedback to stop guessing and start building. Please take five minutes to complete our Community Recreation Survey and tell us what you want to see in our parks.
