Well it's about time! Everyone who lives on the western side of Charles County knows that there is a distinct lack of public parks and resources in the area. The Pisgah, Maryland Park announcement, means that the Bryans Road/Indian Head area will be seeing lots of improvements!

The new park has already gotten it's funding approval from the Maryland Board of Works, and they're planning on spending $1.87 million dollars on the project. Remember the old Pisgah Landfill? Well, that's where this new project is going! It's a case of beautifying one of the uglier spots in the county, and this is going to be a HUGE improvement!

How huge? About 234 acres, to be exact! This park is going to be more than just picnic tables and baseball diamonds, though. They're planning to include football fields, soccer fields, playground, an off-leash dog park, and for the first time in Charles County, mountain bike trails AND a BMX bike course.

To say it's long overdue is an understatement. What will be interesting to see is how much of the area immediately surrounding the new park will be developed. I know that there is a 77 acre parcel of land for sale in Southern Maryland next to the upcoming park that is currently for sale for $575,000, I have a feeling that it won't be available for too much longer once developers take note of the new park project!

This is great news, and a huge benefit to a largely rural region that is in sore need of community improvements such as this! I can't wait until they get this built and open for business!
