Mission
The Recreation and Parks Advisory Board will assist the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities in providing resources, promoting and providing quality recreational programs, natural environments and safe facilities, all of which enhance the quality of life for the citizens of the City of Richmond. Board members will serve as advocates on behalf of the citizens of the City of Richmond.
Advisory Board Membership
The Board's 23 members represent a complete spectrum of Richmond citizen's needs. They have a wide variety of interests, and solicit additional points of view from people in the areas they represent, helping department staff identify ways to improve programs and facilities. There are 18 council appointments (2 per district), and one member from each of the following bodies as appointed to the Board: the School Board, Planning Commission, Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority, the Human Services Commission, and one non-voting member of the Richmond Parks and Recreation Foundation that serves as a liaison between the Board and the Foundation.
