Tell City, Perry County and Independent Parks and Recreation Areas 2017 Survey Thank you for participating in the 2017 Perry County and Tell City Parks Survey. As our local park boards develop 5 year master plans and the county and city follow up on the recently developed comprehensive plans, it is essential to know what members of the community want to see in Perry County and Tell City local parks and public spaces. What features do you currently use? What features would you like to see added? Are there improvements that need to happen? Please be honest in your assessment. Your input is important. By completing this survey it will make the local park boards eligible for funding opportunities for upgrades and improving park facilities.
