Plan to enhance Maryland parks
The recreational evaluations are the first step in a comprehensive statewide effort to enhance existing recreation areas in Maryland including state parks, forests, wildlife areas and trails. DNR will ask participants to assess the extent to which outdoor recreation facilities, programs and services meet the needs of the community and identify future demand and need.
The public input will help guide the update of the Maryland Land Preservation and Recreation Plan, which will serve as a roadmap for future State outdoor recreation facilities and services. The Department has hired a nationally-known parks and recreation management consulting firm, GreenPlay, LLC, to oversee the Recreation Component of this planning process.
The Department held the Southern Maryland meeting earlier in the month but citizens may still provide input on any area at any of the meeting listed.
