Project Overview
The 2027 Land Preservation, Parks, and Recreation Plan (LPPRP) is required to be submitted by each county to the State of Maryland every five years. This plan serves as a guide for the development of parks, improvements to recreational facilities and programs, and efforts to preserve land in Montgomery County. The next LPPRP is due in 2027, and your input and feedback in 2026 are essential to its success. Please share your thoughts by taking our park experience survey at MontgomeryParks.org/Survey2026.
