Introduction

Montgomery Parks manages more than 400 parks on over 34,000 acres of parkland which is more than 10% of the entire county's land mass. Wherever you are in Montgomery County, you are never more than two miles away from one of our county parks.

There are many different types of parks, ranging from small pockets in urban centers to large, recreational parks that offer many different activities. We've designated close to 25,000 acres of parkland as conservation or stream valley parks to protect our county's ecosystems and keep them green and healthy.

Learn about all of the stages of developing our parks, from identifying the needs of the community to the actual construction of the park, and there are many opportunities for you to give the Parks Department your thoughts and ideas throughout the process. We look forward to hearing from you!
