Putnam County Parks Board is updating its Five-Year Parks and Recreation Master Plan. We would like to hear how you use our existing facilities (People Pathways Trail System) and what you would like to see in the future related to county parks and programming.

The Putnam County Parks system is currently managed by a single part-time staff member who oversees daily operations and reports to the five-member Parks Board. The Putnam County Parks Board provides guidance and oversight, while the Putnam County Commissioners serve as the governing authority.
