FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS

2STATIONWhat concepts do you like?2STATIONWhat would you change?

During 3 focus group meetings in August 2015, participants were asked to work in teams (5-6 individuals per team) to identify their preferred location for the priority uses, activities and facilities within the park. Each team was given an aerial map to mark up, colored pens and graphic labels for the various park uses.

The work products from the 6 di�erent teams are on display.

Planning concepts that were consistent among the teams include:

• Move the boat ramp and trailer parking mauka further up the river (indicated by all 6 teams)

• Use portions of the proposed expansion area for parking (indicated by all 6 teams)

• Move the existing bathroom mauka/away from the shoreline, or add a second bathroom

(indicated by all 6 teams)

• Provide areas for loading/unloading, picnicking and camping, and kayak/SUP launch

• Keep the beach and makai park areas for picnics and camping

Each focus group participant was given 8 colored dots (3 green, 2 orange and 3 blue) and asked to place the dots on the aerial map to show:

This poster is a compilation of the opinions from the 33 individuals who participated in the focus group meetings. Based on the placement of the dots:

STATIONHOW DO YOU USE AND RELATE TO BLACK POT BEACH PARK?

Where do you spend most of your time or observe others spending their time?

Where do you typically park when you go to Black Pot? Where do you see others park?

What areas and facilities are in most need of improvements?

Park users typically spend time at the beach, on the pier, or in ocean activities. Green dots dispersed across shoreline, water and picnic areas.

Parking is split equally between the beach and designated parking areas. 52% of the orange dots (33 of 64) placed across the beach.

Improving the bathroom facility is the �rst priority, followed closely by the boat ramp facility. 33% of the blue dots (29 of 87), clus-tered around the bathroom; 30% of the blue dots (26 of 87), clustered around the boat ramp.
