2022 Land Preservation Parks and Recreation Plan

Anne Arundel County has completed a draft of the 2022 Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan (LPPRP). This plan acts as a countywide master plan for land preservation, recreational programming, park acquisition, and facility development. Your comments are essential!

Before the County Council formally adopts the LPPRP, the public is being asked to review the draft plan.

Anne Arundel County 2022 Land Preservation, Parks & Recreation Plan - County Council Draft - April 2022

The updated LPPRP will serve as a guide for land conservation and parks and recreation planning, park development, program improvements, and decision making in Anne Arundel County.
