Hood River Valley Parks + Rec Advisory Council
The primary goal of the HRVPRD Advisory Council will be to provide valuable feedback to the District Board and staff on key issues related to parks, trails, facilities, recreational services, and funding. The Council supports the District’s mission by ensuring that a broad range of voices and perspectives are reflected in the District’s decision-making processes. In particular, the Advisory Council serves to provide thoughtful, community informed guidance to the Hood River Valley Parks & Recreation District (HRVPRD) Board of Directors, with an initial focus on the Pool Options Study and advising on developing funding measures to put before the voters.
