Board of Park Commissioners

The Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District’s governing body is a three-person Board of Park Commissioners whose members are appointed to three-year terms by the Probate Court and serve without pay. The Board’s policies, which direct and guide the District’s professional staff, are based on Section 1545.11 of the Ohio Revised Code, which in part states: “The Board of Park Commissioners may conserve lands for the preservation of the natural resources of the State and may create parks, parkways, forest reservations and also develop, improve, protect and promote the use of same.”
