Community Voices. Collective Vision.
Board of Commissioners
The Hoffman Estates Park District is governed by seven elected commissioners, representing the recreational needs of the community for four-year unpaid terms.
Decisions that Shape Our District
What The
Board Does
Park Commissioners have the power to levy taxes within prescribed limits, establish or change Park District policies, sign agreements, award contracts and possess all of the powers similar to those of a board of directors for a public corporation. The Park Board also hires an Executive Director to manage the day-to-day affairs of the Park District.
Dedicated leaders. Deep community roots.
