Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation responded Friday to homeowners concerns about a park being built in their Upper Marlboro, Maryland, neighborhood.
The response comes a week after a group of neighbors voiced frustrations over plans to build a public park on a 25-acre parcel in the middle of the Canter Creek area.
“I’m still devastated right, by the fact that a park is being developed in our quiet community,” homeowner Anjelica Muhammad said. “There’s been an increase in crime in the Upper Marlboro area.”
On Friday, Parks and Recreation representative Sonja Ewing spoke about the Canter Creek Park project.
“The process that we go through is a pretty standard one. Every residential development in the county has a requirement to provide for parkland,” Ewing said.
