Located in the Maryland suburbs east of Washington, DC, Prince George's County has more than 26,000 acres of M-NCPPC parkland. Approximately 1/3 has been developed to provide active and passive recreation opportunities. It is very likely that there is a park facility in or near your community. Review our online listing of parks and trails.

The Department of Parks and Recreation also publishes hiker/biker trail maps and guides to the many historic, arts, sports and community center sites that are part of the park system. Or, call us at 301-699-CALL (2255), TTY 301-699-2544 to tell us where you live and what your interests are. We'll help you find a park or recreation facility near you. 

Parks and other recreational facilities are grouped by area of the county: northern, central and southern. Each area is staffed by a maintenance crew who cares for the parks and facilities, an inclusion specialist who assists citizens with special needs, and a teen coordinator who works with the community centers to provide programs for teens and preteens. Of course, you are welcome to use any facility or attend any program, no matter where you live or work.

The Northern Area of the county includes the communities of Laurel, Beltsville, Berwyn Heights, College Park, Riverdale Park, Langley Park, Greenbelt, New Carrollton, Landover Hills, Cheverly, Bladensburg, Cottage City, and Hyattsville.
