Parks & Trails Commission seeking two district representatives



Cook County’s Parks & Trails Commission is seeking a District Two representative (effective immediately) and a District Four representative (beginning in August) for two-year terms.

“We are looking for two interested individuals to bring their enthusiasm and energy to the Commission,” said Lisa Kerr, Land Commissioner/ Parks & Trails Director. “This is a great opportunity to be part of the future of Cook County’s parks and trails.”

The Commission holds six regular meetings each year, with special meetings if needed. Meeting dates, times and places are determined at the beginning of each year. Schedules and Agendas are posted in the Land Services Department Office, and available on the Cook County Website.

The Parks & Trails Commission was established to advise and provide recommendations to the Cook County Board of Commissioners on all matters relating to the planning, development, implementation and maintenance of parks, trails, recreational programs and facilities on public lands within Cook County in cooperation with other local, state and federal public entities for the benefit and enjoyment of the residents and visitors of Cook County.
