The City's special charter gives it ownership of all public parks
and recreation facilities within the City and an obligation to regulate
and improve those assets. The Park and Recreation Board serves as
an advisory body in regard to the development and operation of
recreation programs, playgrounds, the Recreation Center, the Deer Path
Golf Course, the beach and all other City-owned park and recreational
facilities. The Board also acts as a liaison between the residents
and the City Council on all park and recreation matters.
The Board meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at
City Hall.
Park and Recreation Board meetings
are broadcast live and rebroadcast Tuesdays at
9:00 p.m. and Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. on
City 17. A DVD copy
of the meeting is available in the Reference Section at Lake
Forest Library.
