Marion County Parks Commission

Marion County Public Works has a seven to eleven member Parks Commission who present park-related recommendations to the Marion County Board of Commissioners. The Parks Commission is made up entirely of citizens-at-large. Members meet and discuss policies and decisions that allow the county to provide safe, high-quality parks and recreation opportunities.

If you would like to apply, please fill out the Advisory Board Volunteer Application. Parks Commission meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of every other month, unless otherwise posted. Meetings are held at Marion County Public Works, located at 5155 Silverton Road NE in Salem, Oregon. Meetings are open to the public, and members of the public may attend in person or virtually. If you wish to attend, please contact (503) 365-3178 or EnvironmentalServices@co.marion.or.us.
