Water Safety
L
ast Fall, the Department of Parks and Recreation implemented the American Red Cross’s newly revised “Swimming and Water Safety Program” which teaches people of different ages and abilities how to be safe in, on or around the water, and how to swim. The program covers the knowledge and skills needed for aquatic skill development. As participants progress through levels, they develop these skills, becoming safer and better swimmers. Our swim lessons progress from beginning lessons to more advanced skill development. Find the right course for you and your child and a complete description by visiting www.pgparks.com and click on the SMARTlink logo, or turn to the page associated with each program title.

Raku is ancient form of Japanese pottery that uses low firing temperatures and the removal of the pieces from the kiln while still glowing hot. Because this process creates a unique surface finish, often with crackled textures, Raku techniques have been adopted and modified by potters around the world. Through class demonstrations, participants will be taught an introductory understanding of raku pottery, firing procedures, kiln types, raku clay and glazes.

Resident Registration and Fees The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission policy gives priority to Prince George’s County residents during program and class enrollment; it also increases registration fees by approximately 20 percent for non-residents, or those living outside Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. This procedure ensures that the citizens who fund these programs through their tax dollars have the first option to enroll. After the priority registration period, registrations are accepted from residents of all jurisdictions. The fee schedule applies to all Commission programs and facilities in Prince George’s County, with a few exceptions such as performance tickets and historic site admission fees. *NOTE: Full payment is due at registration unless a class or program has a scheduled payment structure i.e. Kids’ Care, Trips & Excursions. Need help? E-mail the Park and Planning Help Desk at help4smartlink@pgparks.com

An exciting community planning effort has been underway since March 2014 to transform the Prince George’s Plaza area into a walkable and vibrant downtown! The Prince George’s County Planning Department, partnered with the Prince George’s County Council and County Executive, the City of Hyattsville, and the Town of University Park, is updating the 17-year-old plan that governs development and public investment in the area.
Prince George’s Plaza Today The Prince George’s Plaza area has a strong framework that includes: • A successful mall • A Metro station offering quick access to downtown Washington, D.C. • A major commuter route, MD 410 (East West Highway)
DID YOU KNOW? Prince George’s Plaza has been designated a priority transit-oriented development center and one of three future downtowns in Prince George’s County, positioning the area to receive priority public support. To learn more, check out Plan Prince George’s 2035, at www.planpgc2035.com.
The Northwest Stream Valley Park provides a green respite to an urbanizing community. New development,

New ownership at University Town Center promises to inject vibrancy along its retail corridor. Modern public buzz in the area.
Our Opportunities for Tomorrow Several of these assets create challenges. East West Highway is a six- to eight-lane barrier that cuts through the area, making walking and bicycling difficult. Many sites were designed prior to the county’s environmental regulations, resulting in unmanaged stormwater runoff and downstream flooding. Vast amounts of parking define the area instead of landscaped plazas and outdoor cafés. Public facilities concentrated along the outskirts dilute the catalytic boost they could potentially give the downtown. The planning team has been working closely with surrounding communities, property owners, county and state agencies, and municipal leaders to proactively and comprehensively address these challenges. Let us know if we got it right!
Mark Your Calendars The preliminary Prince George’s Plaza Transit District Development Plan will be released in early summer 2015. The Prince George’s County Planning Board will hold a public hearing in the late summer/early fall. Please let us know your thoughts! We encourage you to learn more about this planning project at: www.pgplanning.org/PGPlazaTDDP.htm or contact William Washburn at 301-952-4225 or william.washburn@ppd.mncppc.org
