It is governed by a five member Board of Commissioners elected to six year terms in biennial public elections. They receive no compensation for attending meetings. The terms of office are staggered so that no more than two Commissioners are elected at one time. The board establishes general policies, adopts the budget and appropriation ordinance, and appoints the District Attorney and Director. Park Board meetings are held on the third Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at the Park District Administration Building located at 105 S. Spruce St., Washington, Illinois. For more information, you may contact the Park District. Mission Statement - To provide quality recreational programs, facilities and parks that meet the leisure needs and improve the quality of life for the residents of Washington. Dear Residents, It is hard to believe that we are approaching the end of the year already. Our staff has put together another brochure full of fun programs and special events. Be sure to get your kids signed up for some of our most popular athletic programs including baseball, softball, lacrosse, and spring soccer. Thank you for your input on our recently adopted Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan. We appreciate having so many residents willing to share their time with us to Executive Director contribute to the plan. We will use this as a guide for our decisions over the next five years. Brian Tibbs We are currently taking a hard look at the impact of minimum wage increases on the district. While we hope this will have minimal effect on our facility and program offerings, we will do our best to take an in depth look at each of our offerings and remain fiscally responsible. Be sure to stay in touch with us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Thank you for your continued participation and support of our programs and parks.
