Walker Mill Regional Park Master Development Plan
Master Plan Updates
Park Police Trailer Removal
The trailer that was intended to be occupied by the M-NCPPC Park Police as a temporary police substation at the overflow parking lot along Walker Mill Road was removed due to challenges in obtaining permits to meet the county’s recently updated building codes. As such, the Park Police were not able to occupy the trailer and it was subsequently removed from the park.
Future improvements to the safety and security of Walker Mill Regional Park are being evaluated through the master development planning process. The draft plan includes recommendations on how and where best to accommodate a Park Police presence in a permanent structure within the park, and recommendations on how to utilize the area where the trailer was originally installed. For more information on the Walker Mill Regional Park Master Development Plan recommendations, review the presentation from the December 9, 2021 community meeting.

Informational Videos
Below are three brief videos that explain the background on the planning process, the history of the park, and the important natural resources that are part of the park.
The park Master Plan will establish a comprehensive vision for the future of Walker Mill Regional Park by developing a blueprint that balances competing demands on the park’s resources and responsibly guides development through the next 20-25 years. The blueprint will be shaped by recommendations generated from an analysis of existing conditions, an evaluation of the park's natural resources, community input collected through multiple civic engagement tools, and a robust level of service assessment.
