Parks and Recreation Commission

The Parks and Recreation Commission is the recommending body for policy decisions on Garfield Township's parks and recreation system.

Some specific duties of the Parks and Recreation Commission include:

• Develop and maintain the 5-Year Parks and Recreation Master Plan
• Develop park-specific management plans
• Develop informational pamphlets about the parks system and encourage public involvement and stewardship
• Work in partnership with other stakeholders, including the Grand Traverse Conservation District, Regional Land Conservancy, and County Park Department.

The Parks and Recreation Commission meets once per month. All meetings are open to the public, and any interested person is welcome to attend and be heard. We'd love to hear your suggestions on how to make our already wonderful park system even better!
