Action Item! Spriggs Farm Park Design Public Meeting 6 pm Wednesday, July 12, 2023 at the Broadneck Library
Why is going to this meeting important? Spriggs Farm Park is the only public water access site on the south shore of the Magothy River. The current stopgap access pass is almost unusable. Two prior designs for Spriggs effectively eliminated public water access in the park. We pushed back and Rec & Parks did a re-design. This meeting is our only chance to review the revised design and make sure that it protects and improves public water access. Fishing yaks are the heaviest paddlecraft. The access path design from the parking lot is critical. Most of the attendees at these meetings are people who live near a park and who often oppose public water access in the park. Remember Halloween 2015 just after Spriggs Farm Park opened? A private lock was placed on the park gate and a car with a sign on it saying the park was closed to the public was parked in the middle of the road to block access to Spriggs.

Meeting details: The meeting is at 6 pm on Wednesday, July 12, 2023 at the Broadneck Library Community Meeting Room at 1275 Green Holly Drive, Annapolis, MD 21409.
