Community Committee

The Dix Park Community Committee is an advisory committee designed to represent the diversity of the community and bring a broad range of experiences and expertise to the Dorothea Dix Park project. This committee provides guidance and recommendation to the Dix Park Leadership Committee on matters related to park development, programming, and engagement.

The purpose of the Community Committee is: 

  • To be a steward of the Master Plan
  • To be a voice of the community and advise the Leadership Committee (made up of City and Conservancy leadership) on the implementation of the Master Plan
  • To be engaged and informed voices of Dorothea Dix Park in the community to support both the City and the Conservancy’s outreach and engagement efforts.  

The management of the Community Committee will be led by the City with the support of the Dix Park Conservancy. The committee meets quarterly, and is composed of 44 community members serving one, two, or three year terms.
