On November 7, 1933, the Greensboro City Council passed an ordinance that created the first Recreation Commission. The Commission became instrumental in forming the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department. 

Today, this nine-member commission serves in an advisory capacity to the Parks and Recreation Department and Greensboro City Council, and as a liaison between these groups and Greensboro residents. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at parks and recreation facilities across the City. Meetings are open to the public.
