Development Concept
• Development of a nature-based park facility that will offer
unique outdoor recreational and educational opportunities
for our residents.
• In addition to providing access to the tremendous natural
resources, the park would focus on local history,
environmental stewardship and Southern Maryland farm life.
• Great potential for a significant tourism venue. Serve as an
eco-tourism hub for Nanjemoy Creek, Mallows Bay, Purse
State Park and Bureau of Land Management properties.
