Our diverse offerings of services, programs and facilities are the result of citizen and community input combined with the delivery of leisure services by a team of professional staff.

Our mission is to promote opportunities for all residents to pursue safe and enjoyable leisure activities in balance with the protection and conservation of natural resources. We utilize a very strong teamwork concept to involve the community in concert with our staff to identify and meet the needs of our citizens.

I invite you to become an active partner with us as we strive to improve the quality of life for all Howard Countians through the pursuit of quality leisure services. Please call (410-313-4700), fax (410-313-4660), write (7120 Oakland Mills Road, Columbia, Maryland 21046-1677) or email us (see link above) for information or assistance. And remember to Get Up! Get Out! and Get Active!

We are here to serve you!
Gary J. Arthur, Director
