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 an Executive Director, and a staff of recreation professionals. The Board receives community input through its citizen advisory committees, composed of appointed community volunteers, and from the general public.
