About

It is our mission "to provide to the residents of Chesterfield Township and guests affordable, stimulating, and comprehensive recreational, educational, and cultural activities, services and facilities. The department provides these quality of life amenities in fitness, athletics, cultural arts, conservation, preservation and general open space use in a safe, enjoyable and aesthetically enriching environment and for all ages." A dedicated staff supported by a legion of volunteers are essential in the delivery of these programs and services. The Parks and Recreation Department is creating a sense of community pride and esteem, by providing positive program alternatives and giving Chesterfield Township great recreational opportunities.

The Parks and Recreation Commission is made up of nine residents who meet monthly to provide feedback to the staff on programs, serve as liaison between the department and the community and make advisory recommendations to the Township Board. The current commission consists of Donald Purdie Jr. (Chair), Alan Christ (Vice-Chair), Vince Finazzo (Secretary), and the following commissioners Mike Henry, Anthony McPherson, Ron Rospierski, Jan Uglis, Patrick Williams, Mary Ellen Barrett-Wilmot and Cheryl E. Printz (Board Liaison).. They meet the last Wednesday of each month except during the holiday season
