The York Center Park District was created with the following goals: To conduct programs which will enhance the leisure life of residents and their families. To encourage groups to develop such programs. To conserve the area's natural environment values. To acquire, protect, and develop other valuable resources. To strive to protect the community from environmentally destructive and degrading influences. In order to facilitate the achievement of these goals, the Board of Commissioners has approved a series of policies and ordinances governing the operation of the district. Accompanying procedures have been developed to carry out these policies.
