New Park For Bel Air: Emily Bayless Graham Park Under Development

BEL AIR, MD — Nearly 70 acres of land have been donated to Harford County to create a park on MD 924 at MD 24, government officials report. There will be a presentation with details about the plans on June 13.

During the presentation, representatives from the Harford County Department of Parks and Recreation will discuss the county's acquisition of the 69 acres.

Emily Bayless Graham, for whom the park will be named, donated the site to the county with the intent that it would become a passive park, or an area that focuses on natural, open space.

The presentation will include information about the land acquisition, development restrictions and the initial phase of development for the Emily Bayless Graham Park in Bel Air.

Harford County Parks & Recreation will host a presentation about plans for the park from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 13, at Emmorton Recreation and Tennis Center, 2213 Old Emmorton Road, Bel Air. The meeting will be in the multipurpose room.

For more information or to request accommodations, contact Harford County Deputy Director of Parks & Recreation Paul Magness at pmagness@harfordcountymd.gov or 410-638-3570.
