The purpose of the Design Guidelines for Parks and Recreation Facilities is to ensure that public and private recreation facilities in Prince George’s County are developed and constructed in a safe, functional, and long-lasting manner to meet residents’ recreational needs, while conserving public open space, natural resources, historic resources, and cultural resources.

The guidelines are also intended to assist in maintaining the goals of the Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation:

  • We want County residents to be both socially and physically connected
  • We want our investments in facilities and programs to stimulate the economy
  • We want our facilities and programs to have wellness components that will contribute to the physical and mental health of our patrons and the environmental health of communities.
