Parks and Recreation Board
The Parks and Recreation Board meets at 7 p.m. the third Tuesday of each month in the Town Barn. The Town Barn is located on the Town Hall campus, 101 E. Orange St. Access is from East Corbin Street.
The Parks and Recreation Board has up to 11 members appointed by the Town Board to advise the Town and Planning boards about park issues. The Parks and Recreation Board works to implement the recommendations in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which is the guiding document for the board. The Master Plan is revisited annually to make key updates and new recommendations. The Parks and Recreation Board also provides comments about recreation space offered by various developments and communicates with other recreational organizations to facilitate the sharing of resources and programming opportunities. The board also coordinates with neighborhood groups to establish neighborhood parks and with the Public Works Department to ensure maintenance of the parks and construction of sidewalks.

Recent Projects
In March 2010 the Hillsborough Town Board approved the annual update of the Parks & Recreation Master Plan. This version has expanded the boundaries of several park districts and added two additional districts for a total of 16 park districts. The version also has an updated recreational resources inventory.
In June 2009, the Town Board adopted the Community Connectivity Plan, the creation of which was a recommendation of the Parks & Recreation Master Plan. The Community Connectivity Plan provides a detailed inventory and analysis of pedestrian and bicycle routes and amenities in Hillsborough and makes recommendations for improving the pedestrian and bicycle environment.
