Parks Commission

Marion County Parks Commission

Marion County Public Works has a seven to eleven member Parks Commission who present park-related recommendations to the Marion County Board of Commissioners. The Parks Commission is made up entirely of citizens-at-large. Members meet and discuss policies and decisions that allow the county to provide safe, high-quality parks and recreation opportunities.
