Baltimore County Announces New Master Plan for Oregon Ridge Park

After soliciting feedback for more than a year, Baltimore County has finalized work on a new master plan that lays out a vision for Oregon Ridge Park.

The plan’s purpose is to provide “recommendations for park improvements and upgrades over the next twenty years, building on what works in the park and what is needed, in the form of a strategic vision and framework to guide redevelopment.”

Oregon Ridge Park is Baltimore County’s largest park and the “crown jewel” of the county’s park system, says Bob Smith, the county’s director of recreation and parks.
