Board notes completed park projects and flags trail maintenance needs
Summary
The board reported completed projects (Church Hill and Sudlersville trail paving, Church Hill pickleball courts, Mowbray playground) and raised maintenance concerns about Cross Island Trail bumps and rough decking on Cox Creek; Ferry Point remains monitored without DNR funding.
Board members acknowledged a series of completed projects: Church Hill and Sudlersville park trail paving is finished and Church Hill Park pickleball courts are complete; Mowbray Park playground construction is complete. Staff also reported dredging work at Muddy Creek/Long Point is finished and spraying for invasive species was taking place.
PRAB members flagged maintenance issues: Cross Island Trail has large bumps and the decking on Cox Creek trail is rough; the board is exploring alternative decking options. Members also noted Ferry Point is being monitored but that no DNR funding has been approved for that project. Separately, staff updated the board that the Conquest Pole Barn poles are set and trusses are expected the following day; the pole barn will be used for off-season equipment storage.
Why it matters: Completed upgrades improve access and recreation capacity across the county, while maintenance problems can limit usability and raise safety or liability issues; monitoring funding status for Ferry Point determines whether the project moves forward.
