Community Parks and Playgrounds
Thank you for participating. The application deadline has passed and applications are now under review for Fiscal Year 2010 funding.
Maryland's Community Parks & Playgrounds Program invests in the future of established communities by revitalizing parks and playgrounds statewide. With the support of the Governor and the Maryland General Assembly, a total of $39.9 million has been approved so far, to restore 388 park & playground projects.
Last year $5 million in CPP FY 2009 funds were included in the Maryland Executive Budget for 44 new parks and playground projects and have received funding approval by the Board of Public Works.
New Parks & New Life for Old Parks!
The Community Parks and Playground Program provides funding to allow the State to focus on restoring
existing and creating new park and green space systems in Maryland's cities and towns. The Community Parks and Playgrounds
Program will provide flexible grants to local governments to respond to the unmet need for assistance to rehabilitate, expand
or improve existing parks, create new parks, develop environmentally oriented parks and recreation projects, or purchase and install playground equipment in older neighborhoods and
intensely developed areas throughout the state.
