Board of Park Commissioners
The Board of Park Commissioners is a three-member body whose members according to state law are appointed by the Presiding Judge of the Butler County Probate Court for three-year terms. Park Commissioners are VOLUNTEERS who serve without pay and make the policy decisions needed to chart the future course for Butler County’s park system.
The Board has a monthly regular meeting, usually the third Tuesday of the month, beginning at 3:00 p.m. which is open to the public. Board meeting locations are subject to change so please contact the MetroParks Administrative Headquarters prior to each meeting to verify the location or look for additional meeting information on this website.
