The mission of the Willow Creek Park District is to provide enriching recreational activities and facilities to enhance the quality of life of the communities it serves. 

The Willow Creek Park District was established in 1980, and is a Special Oregon district charged with providing and administering selected parks and recreation programs for our local and neighboring communities. The district is currently responsible for the management of the Willow Creek RV Park and Campground, and the Willow Creek Water Park. 

The Park District is governed by a 5-member board of directors who are elected to serve the people. Board members serve 4-year terms.
