About Us

Our Mission

We provide quality leisure services to the citizens of Anne Arundel County by offering affordable active and passive recreational opportunities; and preserving and protecting sensitive environmental and historic sites.

  

Anne Arundel County Recreation and Parks is primarily responsible for the provision of a comprehensive system of recreational programs for county residents and the preservation of valuable land in the form of more than 140 parks and sanctuaries. Specialized recreational facilities, including two swim centers, two golf courses, baseball stadium and softball complex, programs such as school-age childcare and adaptive recreation and more than thousands of acres of land fall under the department’s jurisdiction. The department’s open space includes community parks, green ways, archaeological, environmental, and historical preserves, and large regional facilities occupying several hundred acres of land.

The Program Guide and website list seasonal recreational and sports programs, summer camps and activity centers, special events, information on school-age childcare and regional county parks. A vast array of county league and community sports is available as well. Children and young adults with disabilities can also enjoy enriching activities through adaptive recreation programs.
