The Deerfield Park District is governed by an elected board of park commissioners who serve four-year terms of office without pay. Board members set policy for the district which is administered by a director of parks and recreation and staff of recreation professionals. The board receives community input through its citizen advisory committees, composed of appointed community volunteers, and from the general public.

The park board meets the third Thursday of each month. Schedule changes will be posted at the Jewett Park Community Center, 836 Jewett Park Drive. Call 945-0650 for additional information. Board Workshop meetings are held the first Thursday of the month, as needed.
