Results of Poll On Hort Park, August 2008


Here are the results of my poll conducted in August 2008. Readers of SeenThisSceneThat were asked this question: “Have you visited Hort Park?” Four choices of reply were provided.

49 valid clicks were accepted by the blogger poll provided by Google. The breakdown of this small sample is given in the table below. 25 readers had visited Hort Park while 24 readers had not. Of those who had not visited Hort Park, many were keen to see the place.

Interestingly, 5 out of 25 readers had a negative experience when they were at Hort Park. What could be the reason(s)? Was the new park over-hyped? Were the visitors expecting too much? Were there other reasons that readers might want to share with other readers of SeenThisSceneThat? It would be great if we can hear from readers in the comments below.

This poll has a very small sample size to draw any firm conclusions. I am also not convinced that most visitors to the website are passers-by, although the blog statistics appear to bear this out. In any case, I sincerely like to thank all my poll participants (and fantastic supporters) who took the time and effort to join in my poll.

Have You Visited Hort Park?

As a first for SeenThisSceneThat, I am conducting a simple online poll of my readers. As I am passionate about family-friendly places that are related to nature, sky and space, I have chosen Hort Park, a new hangout on the Southern Ridges of Singapore to be the subject of my poll.

I have written about my visits to Hort Park in earlier articles. You can read them here:

1. Hort Park: A hot place to visit for a garden walk in Singapore

2. Walk at HortPark on Southern Ridges Park Connector

My question for this poll is: Have you visited Hort Park? You are offered four choices. Choose the most appropriate one that applies to your situation.

(1) Yes, and I enjoyed the experience!
(2) Yes, but it was not satisfying.
(3) No, but I plan to visit Hort Park.
(4) I don't want to visit Hort Park.

This poll on Hort Park will remain open until the end of the month.

This is an experiment that I am conducting to gauge reader response. I know most readers living on the same island as I are not the hands-on type. Most people like to watch and stare when something interesting like a seventh month getai starts, but few will volunteer themselves to be coaxed up on stage to be with the stars in the getai show. This is your chance to break the stereotype, so please vote in the poll on the top right sidebar.

Thank you for your support.

See more places. Live more life.
