San Juan Island Park and Recreation District, known as Island Rec, operates the Family Park and Skate Park located at the SJC Fairgrounds, Eddie and Friends Dog Park, Lafarge Open Space, John O. Linde Community Park and the San Juan Island Trails Committee.
Island Rec is most recognized for its year-round comprehensive recreation program providing organized programming for all ages. As authorized by voters in 2015, Island Rec is the main funding source for Friday Harbor High School’s Sports program.
The Commission meets on the first Thursday of every month at 5:00 pm. In addition to participation in Board meetings, Commissioners work closely with Island Rec’s Director, set the annual levy rate and budget, act as a liaison on projects and partnerships and actively volunteer for Island Rec special events.
