Lincoln Park District Announces
Board Vacancies
[September 15, 2026]
The Lincoln Park District is
seeking community members interested in serving on the Park District
Board of Commissioners.
Two seats on the five-member Board will be open for election in
April 2027. In addition, one seat will become vacant in November
2026 following the early departure of a current commissioner due to
a post-retirement move. The Park District is currently seeking an
individual to fill the remainder of that term.
Serving on the Park Board provides an opportunity to help guide the
future of local parks and recreation, support programs for youth,
families and the community, and help make decisions regarding
facilities, programs and improvements.
Board members attend monthly meetings held on the second Wednesday
of each month at 6 p.m. and work with fellow community members to
strengthen the Park District and its mission.
Those interested in being considered for the upcoming appointment
are encouraged to complete an interest form online or in person by
September 25, 2026. Interviews for potential board members will be
held during the first week of October.
