On November 7, 1933, the Greensboro City Council passed an ordinance that created the first Recreation Commission. This commission became instrumental in forming the Greensboro Parks & Recreation Department. Today, this nine-member commission serves in an advisory capacity to the Parks & Recreation Department, the Greensboro City Council and as liaison between these groups and the citizenry. The Greensboro Parks & Recreation Commission meets the second Wednesday of each month. Meetings are open to the public.

For more information, contact the Greensboro Parks & Recreation Administrative Office, located at 1001 Fourth Street, or call (336) 373-2574.

 Special Notice! 

The Proposed Farmer’s Market Policy is up for Commission approval at the October 8, 2008 Commission meeting. The meeting will be held at Lewis Recreation Center at 4 pm. Please click on this link to view the proposed policy.
