The City of Palm Coast is accepting applications for its newly established Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, which will provide input directly to the Palm Coast City Council.

This board will focus on advancing new ideas, helping solve community recreation challenges, and supporting the continued provision of quality recreation programs and facilities for Palm Coast residents. Members will review information from City staff and subject-matter experts and offer recommendations that help shape recreation priorities across the city.

Appointments are for two-year terms, with one member appointed from each of the City’s four districts to ensure balanced representation from across Palm Coast. Meetings will take place on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at the Palm Coast Community Center.

“Our parks and recreation programs are shaped by the people who use them every day,” said James Hirst, Director of Parks and Recreation. “This advisory board is a great opportunity for residents to get involved, share their ideas, and play a meaningful role in shaping the future of recreation in Palm Coast. We encourage anyone who wants to make a positive impact in their community to apply.”

Residents interested in serving can download the application by visiting www.palmcoast.gov/city-clerk/boards-and-committees. Completed applications should be submitted to CityClerk@palmcoastgov.com.

Serving on an advisory board is a hands-on way to get involved, share community perspectives, and help guide decisions that impact parks and recreation for years to come.
