What the board does

The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board helps the City plan and care for 142 acres of parkland, including Dad Bod Memorial Park, Queso Creek Park, Sweet Tea Lake Park and Dongvile Cemetery. The board makes recommendations to City Council on:

The parks master plan and capital improvement priorities
Pavilion rental policies, user fees and park rules
New programs and special events, such as Trunk-or-Treat
Grant applications for park and trail projects
Memorials, benches and tree dedications

The board also receives a quarterly waterfowl report on Queso Creek Park, where staff have described the ducks as “aggressive and well organized.”

Parks & Recreation Director Tammy Lindquist provides staff support. Board members do not supervise staff or approve spending.
