Welcome to the Parkville Recreation Council Inc
To assist in keeping staff, volunteers, participants and residents safe and minimize the spread of the COVID-19 Virus, the Department of Recreation and Parks has canceled all organized recreation activities until further notice. The Department has also advised the County's Recreation Councils to cancel organized activities. This cancellation includes all travel programs out of state. All Department of Recreation and Parks buildings are closed to the public until further notice. Vestibule areas of the free-meal sites for youth 18 and under will be the only exception.
Information is changing on a consistent basis and we will send timely updates as they become available. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Zoom link will be emailed to program chairpersons to join
Flea Market is postponed until further notice
Volunteer Information
Baltimore County Government is invested in increasing the safety of participants and families while they are participating in Recreation and Parks activities and programs. We are extending our efforts to include conducting background investigations for all volunteers who participate in Recreation/Nature Council, Therapeutic, PAL., and other County-sponsored recreation programs.
The background investigation will be conducted by a nationally recognized security screening firm, SSCI. This screening will include a review of each applicant's criminal history and the development of an investigative report. The results of the investigation will determine each volunteer's eligibility to volunteer in our programs. To protect the privacy of all volunteers in the program, Baltimore County staff will not have access to any detailed information regarding this background screening. SSCI will only provide a list of passed applicants to Recreation and Parks staff.
This program is a preventive measure. It is not meant to take the place of parental involvement and participation. It is meant to work in partnership with parental efforts to ensure that their children and all constituents enjoy programs and activities in a safe environment.
Who must complete the background investigation:
- Board of Recreation and Parks Members
- Recreation/Nature Council Board Members
- Recreation/Nature Council Chairpersons
- Head and Assistant Coaches
- Instructors and Assistant Instructors
- Volunteers who have care, custody or control of children
- Volunteers who have access to confidential information (example: registration forms, financial information)
Process:
Access the Volunteer Application by going to the following website www.baltimorecountymd.gov/recreationvolunteers
Access Code: BCGREC19
- Complete the application and submit.
- Volunteers must complete this process prior to each program season.
- There is no cost to applicants.
