The Westchester Park District is responsible
for providing leisure and recreation programs
and facilities for its Community. Formulated as a
governing body in 1956, it is governed by a
board of five Commissioners elected by
residents to serve four-year terms without compensation.
The Board meets on the 1st and 2nd
Monday of each month at the Westchester
Community Center. The district’s mission is to
provide and maintain quality parks and facilities
in order to offer residents the opportunity to
participate in enjoyable and safe activities, which
will enrich their leisure time experiences.
