Anne Arundel County Recreation and Parks maintains local parks, trails and athletic fields, and offers a variety of programs for active youth and adults. The administrative offices are located in the Government Park off Truman Parkway, marked by a statue of two young athletes celebrating "sportsmanship." The department oversees two swim centers, two golf courses, skateboard parks, school-age childcare and rec sports leagues. The Program Guide has everything you need to know about recreational programs, swim lessons, special events, camps and activities each season. The guide is produced in both a printed form (which can be found at libraries, schools and government agencies) and online, with direct links for ease of registration. Forms that are required for participation in most county-sponsored activities can also be found online. Check the website for information regarding activity and game cancellations, facility use and park pavilion reservations.
