Board of Recreation

About the Board

The Vernon Township Board of Recreation is a volunteer-led group dedicated to celebrating and enhancing the strengths of our community. Through innovative programs and events, the board creates cost-effective initiatives that serve residents of all ages.

Members work hand-in-hand with township committees, boards, and local organizations to take a unified approach to community engagement. They actively gather feedback from Vernon residents to spark fresh ideas and guide the development of future recreational offerings. Beyond planning, board members also roll up their sleeves to staff and support events throughout the year.

From making program recommendations and reviewing recreation proposals to engaging volunteers and promoting our parks and programs, this team plays a vital role in shaping Vernon’s vibrant community life.

The board is made up of up to seven township residents and two alternates, all appointed by the mayor to serve three-year terms.
