Background and Rationale
body
The Ramsey County Parks & Recreation Commission (Parks Commission) was established February 27, 1990. There are a total of nine members who are appointed by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners and serve as community representatives. The Parks Commission is an advisory group to Parks & Recreation department leadership. Members serve as valuable community liaisons and provide insights on park projects, policy, racial equity and community engagement efforts. Feedback and ideas are incorporated into development projects and help connect park staff to community. The members' familiarity with the county’s parks and recreation system offers a deep and rich resource for the Park’s vision of a dynamic, community-centered system that provides opportunities for its ever-changing community to engage with inclusive and welcoming parks and recreation sites and programming.
Reporting requirements in Section 4.54.50 of the Administrative Code state that an annual State of the Parks report from the Ramsey County Parks & Recreation Commission will be presented to the County Manager. Past practice has been to present the State of the Parks report to the County Manager and Ramsey County Board of Commissioners at a county board meeting.
This presentation highlights work being done, existing opportunities and key accomplishments during 2023 and into 2024.
