The Switzerland County Park Board was organized in July of 1966.  The board experienced active & inactive years, reorganizing in 1978.  It was not until 1985 that the Switzerland County Parks & Recreation was created. 

The board consists of:

  • 1 appointed by the county executive
  • 2 by county fiscal body
  • 1 secretary  and
  • 2 ex-officio members representing the Purdue Extension Service and

The board prepares and submits an annual budget as other departments of County government prescribed by the State Board of Accounts. The board may accept gifts , donations, and subsidies for park and recreation purposes.
