The December readers poll asked the following: "Which public asset in Gasport is your top choice for outdoor recreation or relaxation?"
123 people took part in the poll and I was amazed at how few people emphasize boating on the Canal. Only 8 people voted for it, which is surprising given the number of docks on our waters and the soaring popularity of kayaking.
I wasn't at all surprised that the Ravine Park took the #1 spot. It really is an impressive place to enjoy nature.
Here's what the poll found. Destinations are ranked from most popular to least.
Royalton Ravine Park: 51 votes (41%)
The Erie Canal (on shore): 44 votes (35%)
Veterans Park: 10 votes (8%)
The Erie Canal (on the water): 8 votes (6%)
The Elementary School grounds: 6 votes (4%)
Hartland Town Park: 4 votes (3%)
