The Park Commission

The Medina Park Commission has been established by the City Council pursuant to City Code Section 525.

The purpose of the Park Commission is to make recommendations to the City Council on matters related to the city’s parks, equipment, facilities, open spaces, trails, recreational activities, and use of park dedication funds.

The Park Commission consists of seven (7) members, each of whom is either appointed by the City Council to serve a three-year term or a shorter term to fill a vacancy.  A commission chairperson, a vice-chairperson, and a secretary are elected from its members.  All Park Commission positions are voluntary.

The Park Commission may also consist of two (2) youth members, each of whom is appointed by the City Council to serve a one-year term.  Youth members shall be non-voting members and their presence or absence at a meeting shall not be counted in determining the existence of a quorum of the commission.

The Park Commission meets on the third Wednesday of each month in the City Council Chambers at city hall.  Meetings are open to the public.
