Master Plan Purpose

This document provides the Frederick County Parks and Recreation Department with a 5-year master plan.  This Frederick County Parks and Recreation Master Plan will serve as a compliment to the Frederick County 2035 Comprehensive Plan and provide development priorities and an implementation strategy (formerly Strategic Plan).  It will help Frederick County allocate services and meet identified parks and recreation needs in the future.

This Master Plan provides characteristics of the facilities, properties, and programs available to Frederick County residents.  The plan also documents the public and stakeholder input obtained throughout the planning process.  This community input provides a framework for confirming the master plan’s goals.  The combination of information, public feedback, and measurable and definable goals and objectives serves to help the community act and invest in a system-wide approach that aligns with community priorities.
