The Homewood City Council appoints members of the community to serve on the volunteer administrative board for the park system.  The Board appoints and supervises a Parks and Recreation Executive Director.  The Parks and Recreation Board Executive Director leads and directs staff to meet the goals and objectives of the Parks and Recreation Board.  The Parks and Recreation Board employs 45 full-time staff members, approximately 35 year round part-time staff members and 70 seasonal summer workers that serve as maintenance laborers, lifeguards and day camp counselors.

The Homewood Parks and Recreation Board meets the first Thursday of each month at 5:30pm. Meetings are held at the Homewood Community Center in Room 100. At times the Board does choose to have the monthly meeting at other facilities or other dates due to scheduling conflicts.
