Board of Directors
Willamalane Park and Recreation District is an independent special tax district where residents pay a special tax to fund the maintenance and operation of park and recreation facilities. Willamalane is governed by a dedicated five-member board of directors, with each board member serving "at-large" for a four-year elected term of office through the Lane County special district election process.
