The Board of Directors is composed of representatives of various stakeholders in the park, including hikers, cyclists, equestrians, dog owners, local homeowner groups and history lovers. All meetings are open to the public, and we welcome your participation. A public comment session is provided at the start of the meeting for anyone who would like to bring issues to the board.
