Jamestown Parks & Recreation announced a date change for its regular monthly Park Board meeting to Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held in the multipurpose room at the Two Rivers Activity Center. The full agenda has been posted on the Park Board page, and the public is welcome to attend and offer comment in accordance with the board’s public participation policy.
The Park Board is the principal forum where local policies, programming, capital projects, maintenance priorities and budget recommendations for Jamestown’s parks and recreation system are discussed. Changes in meeting dates can affect the ability of residents, volunteer groups, youth sports organizations and other stakeholders to monitor proposals, provide input and hold officials accountable. Posting the agenda in advance is intended to give the public time to review items and prepare comments.
Residents who follow park planning, playground upgrades, trail maintenance, special events or recreational programming should note the date change and consult the Park Board page for the agenda. Advance awareness is especially important when boards consider contracts, capital expenditures or changes to program offerings that can have direct budgetary and operational impacts for the city and for community groups that rely on park facilities.
The Park Board’s public participation policy governs how and when members of the public may speak during meetings. Participation policies typically outline sign-up procedures, time limits for comments and the process for addressing items not on the posted agenda. Observing these procedures helps ensure orderly meetings and that public input is recorded and considered in board deliberations.
For many Jamestown residents, the Park Board’s decisions influence everyday amenities and community quality of life—from playground safety and picnic shelter availability to trail upkeep and recreation programming. Civic participation at board meetings is a direct way for residents to shape those outcomes. Community members who cannot attend in person should check the Park Board page for any available remote participation options or future meeting schedules.
The rescheduled meeting on Nov. 12 provides a timely chance for stakeholders to engage with local officials about parks and recreation priorities. Residents are encouraged to review the posted agenda and plan to participate if they wish to comment on matters affecting Jamestown’s public spaces.
