The Tri-City Parks & Recreation District is an independent board that is primarily funded by Platte County School District #2 and the Town of Guernsey. The board is made up of numerous individuals, one of which is a liaison from the PCSD#2 school board. To become a board member interested individuals need to write a letter to the Superintendent of Schools who will verify that the interested party lives within the boundaries of PCSD#2. The Superintendent will then forward the applicant to the Tri-City Parks & Rec. board for their consideration.
