Created in 1943, the Dearborn Recreation & Parks Commission makes recommendations to the Recreation & Parks Department regarding policies, events, activities, and programs and arbitrates any disputes arising from them. Members of the Recreation & Parks Commission are appointed by the Mayor.
The 21-member commission also has stewardship of the Recreation & Parks Department’s three Halls of Fame and hosts the Annual Sports Awards Ceremony—at which new members are inducted—the second Sunday in March.
Parks & Recreation Commission meetings are typically held monthly.
All meetings begin at 7 p.m. at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center (15801 Michigan Ave) and are open to the public.
