Your Parks, Recreation & Greenways Advisory Board
The Village Council established the Parks, Recreation and Greenways Advisory Board on December 18, 2009. The Village Council is looking forward to successfully continuing the development of the Village’s unique Park and Greenway system. In order to continue to support this wonderful project, the Village needs five enthusiastic members of our community who are willing to serve on a Park, Recreation and Greenway board. This Board will work together, along with Council and Staff, to foster development of our park and greenway system and promote Marvin community recreational events for our community. The Board will advise the Village Council and strive to design a park and greenway system that can be embraced by every member of Marvin’s diverse community; including members of our rural community, our equestrian community and our subdivision communities. Ideal candidates for the Park, Recreation and Greenway board will be personable, creative, strategic and committed. The Board will use the Village’s Parks & Greenways Master Plan to steer parks and greenway progress. In addition, members of this Board will work with the Village Staff to assist with current events, or create new community events that will bring Marvin citizens together for fun community affairs. Board members will sometimes work with the Village’s Planning Board on issues of land planning. Ultimately, this Board’s objective will be to promote recreation and advance a park and greenway system that every Marvin citizen can enjoy and embrace. If you are interested in ensuring the successful future of our unique recreation plan, please be sure to write or speak to a Marvin Council member and submit a volunteer application at the Village Hall.PRG Documents
