The Brownsburg Town Council has announced the formation of a new Park Advisory Board, a six-member advisory group created to provide guidance, insight, and community perspective on the future of Brownsburg’s parks, public spaces, and recreation programs.
“The Park Advisory Board will serve as a sounding board or think tank for the Town’s parks, public spaces, and recreation programs,” said Parks Director Amber Lane. “The primary purpose is to focus on problem-solving and long-range planning. They help brainstorm and refine ideas before they go to the Town Council or Park Authority.”
The Park Advisory Board will serve in a strictly advisory role and will not have authority over fiscal matters, policy decisions, or personnel. The Town Council will continue to serve as the Park Authority. Budget decisions remain under the purview of the Town Council, park policies are governed by the Park Authority, and staffing and departmental management fall under the Town Manager.
The board will meet quarterly. Meetings will be informal in nature and will not include structured meeting protocols or meeting minutes.
To ensure continuity, the initial appointments will include staggered terms, with two members serving an initial three-year term, two members serving an initial two-year term, and two members serving an initial one-year term. After the initial appointments, all new board members will serve three-year terms.
The following residents have been appointed to serve on the inaugural Park Advisory Board:
- Adam Dillman for an initial 1-year term expiring December 31, 2026
- Dennis Rosebrough for an initial 1-year term expiring December 31, 2026
- George Buck for an initial 2-year term expiring December 31, 2027
- Judy Kenninger for an initial 2-year term expiring December 31, 2027
- Glenn Nulty for an initial 3-year term expiring December 31, 2028
- Chris Worley for an initial 3-year term expiring December 31, 2028
“These individuals bring a range of experiences and perspectives that will be valuable as we continue investing in our parks and green spaces,” said Town Council President Ben Lacey. “The Park Advisory Board will play an important role in shaping how our parks evolve and serve the community.”
The Park Advisory Board is intended to support collaboration, creativity, and thoughtful discussion as Brownsburg continues to invest in and plan for its parks and recreational amenities.
