The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC)
M-NCPPC was created by the Maryland General Assembly in 1927 to
develop and operate public park systems and provide land use planning for the
physical development of the great majority of
Montgomery
and Prince George's Counties,
and to operate the public recreation program in Prince George's County.
State of the art facilities and award winning programs have been the result.
