The Eaton County Parks and Recreation Commission is organized as authorized by
the Eaton County Board of Commissioners pursuant to Act 261 of the Public Acts
of 1965. The Commission through its Director of Parks and Recreation administers
the on going parks and recreation program.

The first Parks Commission was assembled in 1970, with members being appointed
by the Eaton County Board of Commissioners (then called Board of District Super-
visors).  Since then the Parks Commission has continued to be proactive in helping
provide leisure-time recreational activities for all Eaton County citizens.

The purpose of the Parks Commission is to continually identify current recreational
uses, secure available lands for recreation, and the protection of open space and
natural space for optimal recreational opportunities for all Eaton County citizens.
