The City Of Sheffield Lake's 10 Parks are maintained and operated under the guide of the City Of Sheffield Lake Park Board, a decision making body created by the city charter. Current members are as follows: Madeline Sterling, Marta Nelson, Steve Kovach, Len Smith, Service/Parks Director Bill Gardner and Mayor John Piskura. Two employees support the goals of the parks in various needs and a recreation director is also employed to coordinate city wide functions and events.

A pro-active approach to the use and development of the Sheffield Lake Park System pays close attention to our location along the south shore of Lake Erie, Ohio's greatest natural resource. Together with a regional view of understanding, the Sheffield Lake Park board strives to bring this resource and it's benefits not only to the people of our community, but the surrounding region and state as well.

Following an adopted master plan, the City Of Sheffield Lake is actively pursuing the design and development of a Boat Launch, redeveloped central commercial lakefront district, and multi-use bicycle/pedestrian trails and routes intermingling throughout the city's parks, lakefront, points of interest and local destinations. The Park Board, City Council and Administration openly employ a policy of exploring joint cooperation with other political subdivions in making The City Of Sheffield Lake, a doorway to Ohio's greatest natural resource, Lake Erie.
