Project Background

Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation is creating one master plan for three parks --  Maury Park, Herselle Milliken Park, and Gum Ball Park. These three small parks sit close together, and the plan will guide how they work as a connected set of community spaces. This process builds on past County plans and longtime community interest in improving and linking these parks.

    What this project will do

    • Create a master plan for all three parks.
    • Connect the sites so they feel like one cohesive experience.
    • Identify amenities shaped by community input.
    • Provide space for play, recreation, gathering, casual use, and nature.​​


    What is a Park Master Plan?
    Park Master Plans are long-range plans that provide a road map for the layout of park facilities.  They are intended to guide future design, investment and development.
