Parks and Recreation Board

The Parks and Recreation Board meets at 7 p.m. the third Tuesday of each month in the Town Barn. The Town Barn is located on the Town Hall campus, 101 E. Orange St. Access is from East Corbin Street.

The Parks and Recreation Board has up to 11 members appointed by the Town Board to advise the Town and Planning boards about park issues. The Parks and Recreation Board works to implement the recommendations in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which is the guiding document for the board. The Master Plan is revisited annually to make key updates and new recommendations. The Parks and Recreation Board also provides comments about recreation space offered by various developments and communicates with other recreational organizations to facilitate the sharing of resources and programming opportunities. The board also coordinates with neighborhood groups to establish neighborhood parks and with the Public Works Department to ensure maintenance of the parks and construction of sidewalks.


Current Projects

In 2007, the Hillsborough Town Board adopted an updated version of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which recommended the creation of a community connectivity plan.  In June 2009, the Town Board adopted the Community Connectivity Plan, which provides a detailed inventory and analysis of pedestrian and bicycle routes and amenities in Hillsborough and makes recommendations for improving the pedestrian and bicycle environment.

Visit the Planning Department Plans and Studies page to view these and other plans. For more information about these plans, please contact the Hillsborough planner by e-mail or by phone at 732-1270 Ext. 74.
