The Department of Charles County Recreation, Parks, and Tourism has announced plans to add another outdoor basketball court for the community. In a bid to involve the local residents in the decision-making process, the department has initiated a voting poll to determine the best location for the new court.
Residents of Charles County are encouraged to participate in the poll and vote for their preferred location from the two options provided. The options include Bensville Park, located at 6980 Bensville Rd, White Plains, and White Plains Regional Park, situated at 1015 St. Charles Parkway, White Plains.
To cast their votes, residents can access the voting portal on the Charles County Parks website: www.CharlesCountyParks.com/parks/choose-our-new-basketball-court-location. It is important to note that only one submission per Charles County resident will be accepted. Voting will be open until Monday, July 24, at 11:59 p.m. EST.
The poll results will be announced on Monday, July 31, and will be available on the Charles County Parks website at www.CharlesCountyParks.com.
