The Calvert County Department of Parks & Recreation has launched the public engagement phase for the 2027 Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan (LPPRP), a comprehensive planning effort that will help guide decisions related to parks, recreation, public access, trails, natural resource stewardship and land preservation throughout the county.
Updated every five years, the LPPRP serves as a roadmap for future investments and priorities that support residents’ quality of life while protecting Calvert County’s natural resources and recreational opportunities.
Residents, businesses and visitors are encouraged to participate and help shape the future of parks, recreation and land preservation planning in Calvert County.
Throughout July, members of the LPPRP engagement team will attend community events across the county to answer questions, provide information about the planning process and gather public feedback.
