About Us

Together, these divisions maintain more than 3,113 acres of Park property throughout Queen Anne’s County in addition to maintenance, grass cutting, and snow removal for Board of Education (BOE) grounds and recreation facilities at 16 school sites totaling 320 acres. The Parks division alone is responsible for 22 county parks and 10 county natural resource areas. The Public Landings division operates and maintains 18 landings, 2 fishing piers, and 3 marinas. These five divisions provide boundless public recreation opportunities by air, land, and water.

These amenities serve to stimulate economic development by spurring the development of hotels, restaurants, fishing charters, water activities, adventure tours, and other ancillary uses of the County’s natural resources.
