With Connelly Mill Park—a 234-acre space for families to hike, kayak, and connect with nature, Wicomico County has a chance to create a lasting legacy for future generations. This park can be a place for everyone, but we need your help to make it happen!

Attend the Public Hearing on the 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and speak up for this important project.

We nearly lost this unique opportunity when Connelly Mill Park was removed from the CIP last year (2023). Please show the County Executive how important it is to preserve and restore the original vision for this special place!

Connelly Mill Park is not just another park; it's a promise made to the community. It represents:

• Improved Quality of Life: Parks directly improve our health, both physically and mentally. They offer spaces for us to connect, exercise, relax, and heal, reducing stress and boosting our well-being.
• Environmental Stewardship: This park is an opportunity to protect the Paleo Channel, a vital water source for Salisbury, as well as the watershed of the Wicomico River. Low-impact activities like hiking, kayaking, birdwatching, and biking would allow us to enjoy this natural treasure responsibly.
• Economic Development: The park has been included in the Tri-County Council's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, with the potential to attract visitors and contribute to our local economy.
• Community Unity: Connelly Mill Park was meant to be a place where all residents could come together, regardless of income or background, to enjoy nature and connect with each other.
