For over 40 years the City of North Richland Hills Park and Recreation Board has acted in an advisory capacity to advise the City Council and City Manager concerning the acquisition, development, maintenance and use of parks, playgrounds and open spaces in the City. It is the duty of the Board to make continuous study of the needs of the City for the establishment of public parks and recreation facilities, to investigate and recommend the locations or sites at which public parks and recreation facilities be made available within the municipal limits, suggest means of acquiring and developing such facilities to furnish the City Council and City Management with over-all plans for development and improvement of such facilities to report to the City Council and City Manager the results of studies, recommendations and plans.
The Park and Recreation Board has seven members and one alternate that each serve two year terms, without compensation. The Park and Recreation Board meetings are held the first Monday of every other month at 6:00 p.m. in Pre-Council Chambers at City Hall.
The Park and Recreation Board members are appointed by the City Council, and a person must be a resident of the City of North Richland Hills to serve the board.
