Applications are now being accepted from Boise residents and anyone living within the area of city impact who are interested in filling one open position on the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission. The commission reviews matters pertaining to the planning, development, improvement, beautification, equipping and maintenance of Boise public parks, playgrounds, urban forestry, recreation facilities, programming and open space.

Residents with backgrounds or experience in recreation programming, urban planning and development, environmental education, community engagement, outdoor advocacy or related fields are encouraged to apply.
