The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), Department of Parks and Recreation, Prince George’s County is proud to introduce the Southern Area Aquatic and Recreation Complex (SAARC)! Located in Brandywine, Maryland (conveniently located near Branch Ave/Route 5 (MD 5) and Crain Highway/U.S. Route 301), SAARC is the first multigenerational recreation complex in Prince George’s County. This means, it was designed with every member of the family in mind. From pre-schoolers to grandparents, it is a place where all members of the family can participate in activities together. The much-anticipated SAARC also provides a space for fitness and health goals to happen. The beautifully designed 75,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility includes a natatorium, an indoor running/walking track, a high school sized gymnasium with two basketball courts, spacious fitness rooms, a café, and hospitality spaces for entertaining. For up-to-date information on SAARC, please visit pgsaarc.com.

of beautiful and plush wooded land. Among the trees, visitors will find a 150-year-old willow oak tree standing tall and strong in front of the building. This tree was the focal point and inspiration to the design of SAARC.

Membership: Monthly and yearly

Architect firm Hughes Group Architects used the basic structure of the tree, in a Y- shaped structure. Principal, Amado Fernandez, states: “Our involvement relative to the tree was to place the building in a manner that would focus on the tree’s location and acknowledge its importance, and to reference tree branches in the column design in the entry and the atrium.” This “Y” shape becomes part of the supporting columns throughout the entire structure of the building.

memberships are available! Sign up and gain full access to the facility at pgsaarc.com.

FAMILY TREE, Community Circle

ART AT SAARC

Upon entering the atrium of SAARC, visitors can look up and be greeted by the warm, colorful, and spirited art installation entitled “Family Tree, the Community Circle” by artist Martha Jackson Jarvis and her daughter Njena Surae Jarvis. This vibrant suspended art piece consists of nine individual sculptures that span the entire atrium of the facility. Both Martha and Njena consider their artwork to be celebratory and happy in every way. Their desire is for children and adults to be captivated by the colors while experiencing something different each time they see the artwork. Martha was struck by how the architect used the basic structure of a “Y” shape to represent the 150-year-old tree. She indicated, “When I first encountered the tree, it was an awakening response to the landscape and history of the site.” Thus, the duo based their entire design off of that Y-shaped structure.

There is more artwork to come! Check out these behind the-scenes photos of other extraordinary SAARC installations:

"Water Promise" by Heidi Lippmann

The Artist

"The Guardians" by Judy Sutton Moore

If the name Martha Jackson Jarvis sounds familiar, perhaps you have encountered her mosaic artwork entitled “Green Pastures” at M-NCPPC’s Westphalia Community Center in Upper Marlboro. In addition, Martha’s work can be found throughout the D.C. metropolitan area including at the Prince George’s County Courthouse, Mill Stone Laurel Library, and the Anacostia Metro Station in Washington, D.C. Martha takes great pride creating masterpieces in her Mount Rainier studio in Prince George’s County. Growing up in rural Virginia, Martha had always been struck by landscape and natural materials. In every piece of art that Martha creates, she finds a way to interface with natural raw materials and transport them into an urban setting. For more of Martha’s artwork and upcoming projects, visit marthajacksonjarvis.com. Martha Jackson Jarvis (left) and Njena Surae Jarvis (right)

ashington, Baltimore & Annapolis (WB&A) Railroad began operating in February 1908. At the time, it was a state-of-theart interurban rail line with electric trains traveling as fast as 70 miles per hour. Stops along the trail were located at Bowie, Lloyd, Highbridge, Hillmeade, Bell, Randle (Glenn Dale Hospital), Lincoln, Buena Vista, and Cherry Grove. Despite the fact that the railroad was rarely profitable, service was excellent. It was fast and on time. In 1909, a Washington to Baltimore round trip ticket cost $1.25 and travel took only 65 minutes oneway. Ridership peaked in 1918 during World War I, when the railroad had 33 scheduled trips from Washington to Baltimore, carrying 5.9 million riders a year. The Great Depression took its toll, however, and the WB&A ceased service in August 1935. The tracks were removed shortly thereafter.

Abraham Hall, home of the Benevolent Sons and Daughters of Abraham, Rebecca Lodge #6, was built on this site in 1889. It is a two-story front-gabled building of wood frame construction. Abraham Hall has served as a meeting place, landmark, and touchstone of the African American community of Rossville. Today, the site houses M-NCPPC’s Black History Program.

Darnall’s Chance was built in 1742 for a wealthy Scottish merchant and entrepreneur named James Wardrop. The house, a 15-room Georgian mansion, was the mainstay of a dwelling complex that included eight brick outbuildings, a rare underground brick burial vault, ornamental & vegetable gardens, an orchard, and livestock. Following Wardrop’s death in 1760, his widow Lettice Lee married medical pioneer Dr. Adam Thomson and later Revolutionary War patriot Col. Joseph Sim. Museum tours highlight the similarities and differences between Lettice Lee and the lives of other 18th century women gentry, middling, and enslaved. Museum exhibits and gift shop on premises. Grounds and tented patio available for rental functions. Tented patio (available May-Oct.) Capacity: 125 people.

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 30 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? Email the Customer Service Help Desk at CustomerService@pgparks.com.

Tai Chi is adaptable to those with joint, muscle, and back problems. Glenarden Community Center

HOW DID THAT GET THERE?

Our Vision

Thriving communities— now and into the future.

The Important Role Development Review Plays in Economic Development

Our Mission Statement

Have you ever wondered how places like National Harbor, a new Chick-Fil-A, or even your favorite grocery store get developed in the County? It all starts with submitting a plan (an application) with the Development Review Division (DRD) of the Planning Department. DRD plays a key role in economic development in Prince George’s County by ensuring that the land use policies created by the County are enforced. Although the division does not make the final decision, it is responsible for retrieving the information needed to determine if the application is in compliance with the law. DRD not only advises the Planning Board, they also work diligently with all stakeholders to provide the best quality development for all of Prince George’s County.

To promote economic vitality, environmental sustainability, design excellence, and quality development in Prince George’s County.

Prince George’s County Planning Board 301-952-3560 Elizabeth M. Hewlett, Chairman Dorothy F. Bailey, Vice Chairman William M. Doerner Manuel Geraldo A. Shuanise Washington

The Development Review Division has five sections—all equally important and all requiring a lot of attention and responsibility. Every section, except for Planning Information Services, reviews applications for new subdivision proposals, land use, zoning map amendments, and comprehensive specific design plans. Each section plays a vital role in the application review process.
