Community Water Access Survey
The Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks (DRP) is seeking public input to improve water-access recreational amenities in the southern portion of the County (south of Central Avenue/MD 214). While the focus is South County, we encourage everyone to provide input. Please share your experiences and priorities. Once the survey is complete, the County will host a Town Hall meeting to review the results and receive additional public comment. This survey will be used for planning and future budget requests related to water access. The survey will close September 30, 2026. Additional information will be posted at https://www.aacounty.org/recreation-parks/capital-projects
