The Department of Recreation and Parks was established in 1949 to help the citizens of Baltimore County meet their leisure needs. To this end, community Recreation and Parks Councils were created to partner with the Department. These non-profit councils are composed entirely of volunteers who donate their time and efforts to provide their families, their neighbors or perhaps themselves with a wide variety of recreational opportunities - locally and affordably.
