Gates Recreation and Parks Mission Statement.

Leadership

Gates Recreation and Parks Department is governed by a 6-member Commission comprising of volunteer citizens.  The Commission meets once a month, except July and August. 

Support

The Friends of Gates Recreation and Parks is a group of individuals who support the Town of Gates Recreation and Parks Department. As a not-for-profit organization, we are comprised of volunteers who work towards two complementary purposes. First, we provide grant development and procurement efforts to support development of recreation opportunities and park development in the Town of Gates. Second, as a group of volunteers we are a support group for Gates Recreation and Parks events.

Joining our group is an excellent opportunity to volunteer a little time for something that can have a lasting impact. For more information, contact Daniel Hoock, as indicated below.
