Let us help you find newer, greater ways to live more and play more in Prince George’s County! At the M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation in Prince George's County, playing is a big part of our life.
How big? We’re talking more than 28,000 acres of parklands - big! One hundred and sixty-five (165+) miles of trails - big! More activities, learning, camps, pools, event venues, athletic fields, and playgrounds than you can shake your favorite stick at - big! So anytime you’re doing something fun in Prince George’s County, discovering something new and fascinating, or just enjoying the great outdoors, take a look around. You’ll probably see an M-NCPPC sign nearby.
