ABOUT
MISSION
Wayne County Park District seeks to create a system of parks and trails that preserves the rural character and natural resources of the county and protects unique historical places for the benefit of both current and future residents.
PARK DISTRICT
The Wayne County Park District reorganized in 2011. Currently the Park District has five park commissioners that serve 3 year terms as appointed by the Probate Judge. The Board is committed to the Mission Statement of securing and preserving natural habitats for recreational and educational purposes.
The Park Board is responsible for applying for state, federal, or local grants and seek avenues of additional funding to maintain parks under their ownership. The Park District receives minimal operating monies from the county and so we depend on grants and donations along with any fundraising done by the Friends of the Park District.
PARK BOARD OFFICERS
Denny Jordan, Chairman
Carole Van Pelt, Secretary / Financial Clerk
FRIENDS OF THE PARK
The Friends of the Wayne County Park District also reorganized in 2011. These volunteers provide the majority of the labor for maintaining the parks and responsible for fundraising for approved projects. The organization welcomes all age groups and families.
MEETINGS
The Park Board and Friends group meet back-to-back at least one time per month, normally the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM at Buehlers Milltown Community Room. All meetings are open to the public.
