Board Overview
Woodard Park

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was created on April 22, 2003 by a unanimous vote of the City Council.

The Board consists of seven citizen members appointed by the City Council for four-year terms. The Council also appoints alternate Board members. There are also two ex-officio members: one from the Tigard-Tualatin School Board, and the other from the Tigard Planning Commission.

The Board consists of the following members: Michael Freudenthal, Brian Davies, Scott Bernhard, Jason Ashley, Trisha Swanson, Kim Leinberger, Jason Rogers, and alternate Holly Lethbridge. Barry Albertson represents the School Board as an ex-officio member of the Park and Recreation Advisory Board.

The Board has responsibility to advise the Public Works Director and City Council regarding park and recreation policies, budget, facilities, programs and other needs of the community to provide quality park and recreation services. The function of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is established in the Tigard Municipal Code (2.12.010 - 2.12.070).

The Board meets the second Monday of each month at 7:00 PM, in Public Works Building Auditorium. These meetings are open to the public.
