Background Data and Inventory of Facilities COMMUNITY SERVICES A. Schools As Community Facilities The Board supports the use of public school facilities and grounds for community activities and events, provided these activities and events are of a public nature, they do not interfere with the regular school session, and are legitimate school activities and/or the activity or event is appropriate for a public school building. Student related activities will be given priority over community usage. Similarly, community activities benefiting school age participants shall be given priority over other community usage. Private events and occasions such as weddings, funerals, family reunions, etc., are not deemed to be activities for which use of a public school building is appropriate. Such uses are prohibited. The use of these facilities and/or grounds shall be available by application in the prescribed manner. Organizations may be charged a user fee as provided in state law. The Board directs the Superintendent to develop appropriate regulations and procedures for the use of school facilities for reasons other than school purposes. It is recognized that the use of public school facilities and grounds in St. Mary’s County shall be devoted primarily to instructional programs and other school approved activities. The use of public schools and grounds in St. Mary’s County for community purposes shall be encouraged in accordance with the public school law of Maryland (Article 77, Sections 97 and 98.) The Board accepts the responsibility for making facilities available to responsible organizations, associations, and individuals of the community for appropriate education, welfare, or recreational activities that do not interfere with the conduct and best interest of the school system. Examples of student and staff activities include school sports team activities, fine arts rehearsals and performances, professional development for staff, school related clubs/organizations, and training exercises with local law enforcement. Examples of community uses/activities include church services, parking for commercial events at adjacent properties, and private sports organization activities. The Board has an agreement with the St. Mary's County, Department of Recreation and Parks (R&P) in regards to use of school facilities. Where possible, when new facilities are constructed they are designed with the maximum amount of community use space permitted under state funding guidelines with a partnership agreement with R&P for the use of the space. Typical R&P activities in the schools include various sports practices and games, school age care centers, and summer camps. During the 2015-2016 school year there were over 25,000 instances of facility use for over 107,000 total hours. B. Recreation and Parks Over the years there has been a close association between R&P and SMCPS. Shared facilities are located at Lettie Marshall Dent Elementary School, Margaret Brent Middle School, and Leonardtown Middle School. In addition, leases have been provided for open-space activities or parks on some school sites. Throughout the year there are recreational activities sponsored by R&P at school facilities during non-school hours, as follows: ) Tennis Camps Volleyball Basketball Field Sports Cheerleading Sports Camps *Tournaments ( (*Summerstock ) Baseball/Softball Before & After Care School Leisure/Therapeutic Benjamin Banneker E.S.

X X X* X X Leonardtown H.S. X X X X X NOTE: Leisure/therapeutic recreation includes: arts and crafts, sign language and educational programs, martial arts, and various physical fitness programs. Local and county parks are the responsibility of the CSMC. The R&P Board, made up of citizens, administers the programs through the director of R&P. The state of Maryland owns, finances, and administers the largest portion of open space land available for public use in the county. These facilities include: 1,079 acres at Point Lookout Park with provisions for boating, camping, fishing, hiking, and picnicking 600 acres at Greenwell State Park in Hollywood, which has been partially developed as a park accessible for those with disabilities, with further modifications planned Approximately 2,700 acres for the St. Mary's River State Park; approximately 2,000 acres of this land has been designated as a State Wildland, which will ensure it remains in a natural state Approximately 543 acres of open space is managed by the state at the Elms property as a forest management and hunting area; 476 acres of the property is leased by the county for the Elms Environmental Education Center and Elms Beach Park. In 2010, 85 acres of the county leased area was made available for bow hunting. The state purchased two large tracts of land from the Roman Catholic Clergy in 2009. The Newtowne Neck Park is 790 acres, has seven miles of shoreline, and is available for low-impact recreation such as hiking, biking, paddling, and birdwatching; hunting is also allowed at the park with the proper permits. The public master planning process for the park was completed in the fall of 2015 and the plan was adopted by the State in the spring of 2016. The other tract located in St. Inigoes is 910 acres and is being used as state forest lands. The state also owns approximately 1,760 acres of undeveloped land on/near Indian Bridge Road in the California area. Part of the Salem State Forest is open for hunting and is managed by the state’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The Elms property is located on the Chesapeake Bay approximately ten miles south of Lexington Park and includes an Environmental Education Center operated by the school system, a waterfront park administered by R&P, and a Forest and Wildlife Management Program run by the state. The National Park Service is not, at this time, involved in this area and there are no federally owned parks in the county. The only exception to this is John G. Lancaster Park which is on federal land leased to and managed by the County for a public park. Blessed at present with an abundance of undeveloped and unspoiled open space, St. Mary's County will be challenged over the next 20 years to meet the often conflicting demands of an increasing ex-urban population and the expectations of existing county residents. In many cases, county officials and private entrepreneurs will be able to provide additional facilities to meet the expected demand. At existing facilities where resources are limited, users will be faced with increased overcrowding. The tourist industry depends upon the availability of a variety of outdoor activities, and this is another reason for the county to be concerned about maintaining an adequate inventory of parks. Based on the recreational needs identified by R&P, the current CIP, and the approved Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan (LPPRP) (the plan is expected to be updated by July 1, 2017), the following recreation policies and recommendations are proposed: Regional, Community, and Neighborhood Parks The LPPRP recommends acquisition and development of several new facilities and renovations and improvements to existing facilities. Recommendations include: Central County Park – The development of the former Hayden property in Leonardtown will provide future outdoor recreation options, athletic fields, and other recreational amenities. The overall concept for the former Hayden Farm site takes into consideration the needs of schools, recreation and parks, the library, and seniors. The new Leonardtown Library and Senior Center will be located on the former Hayden Farm site and design for that project is currently underway. Construction funding for the park project is now proposed for FY 2020. Amenities envisioned for the park include multi- purpose athletic fields, a playground, parking, a dog park, and restroom facilities. Also, development of the 76-acre former Beavan property, purchased in 2008, will help meet recreation needs in the central portion of the county in the future. This project is listed in the County CIP for design and engineering in FY 2020 and construction in FY 2023. Patuxent River Waterfront Park – A long-standing acquisition goal is for increased water access along the Patuxent River. The recommendation includes acquisition of a large tract (perhaps 100 - 300 acres) for a waterfront park in the 5th or 6th Election District. Chaptico Park – Complete park development, as outlined in the park’s 2002 master plan. This includes recommendations for phased projects to include 1) baseball/softball fields, basketball courts, picnic areas and pavilions, and parking and 2) equestrian trails and riding rings, and hiking and nature trails. The first phase is listed in the approved CIP for design and engineering in FY 2017 and construction in FY 2019. Lancaster Park Improvements – Develop additional multi-purpose practice fields and parking at this heavily used park (construction began in fall 2016; the new fields are expected to be available for use in fall 2017 depending upon adequate turf establishment). Myrtle Point Park – Develop facilities per the park’s master plan, which was adopted in October 2005.

We will be getting together with our friends from the General Smallwood Chapter to attend the Blue Crabs Baseball Game on Sunday afternoon, 24 June at the Regency Furniture Stadium. We did this last year and a great time was had by all. The stadium is located just off of Billingsley Road between Route 5 and Route 301 south of Waldorf. (From St. Mary's and Calvert Counties, go north on Route 5 toward Waldorf. Turn left on Billingsley Road. Take Billingsley Road for approximately three miles. Turn left on Piney Church Road. Go approximately 0.5 miles and the stadium will be on the right.) The stadium is handicapped accessible through the main gate. The National Anthem will be at 1400 and the game will begin promptly at 1405 (2:05pm). We have managed to negotiate a lower price than was originally reported. The cost will be $23 per person, and kids five and under are free. The cost includes the admission, seats in an area reserved for us and an all-you-can-eat buffet catered by the Texas Roadhouse (hot dogs, BBQ chicken, pulled pork, French fries, baked beans, and unlimited soft drinks). The buffet starts when the gates open at 1:30, and the buffet will run for two hours. We encourage everyone to come at 1:30 to enjoy the buffet.
