The survey, designed to be brief, consists of two components: a questionnaire and an interactive map. The questionnaire aims to gauge resident priorities and identify potential enhancements for existing parks and recreational facilities. The interactive map provides an additional avenue for respondents to offer feedback on current park locations or propose sites for new facilities and amenities. Both the questionnaire and the interactive map can be accessed via a single link: https://arcg.is/0X9LSv1. For further inquiries or additional information, individuals are encouraged to contact Travis Allen at the Washington County Department of Planning and Zoning by calling 240-313-2432 or emailing tallen@washco-md.net.
