Like the nineteen other recreation councils in Harford County, we are a tax-exempt Maryland corporation
and have been determined by the I.R.S. to be a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. We receive grants from
the city of Aberdeen, contributions from community businesses, and registration fees from program participants
that help offset operating expenses.
We are not an agency or department of Harford County Government but work with Harford County Department of
Parks and Recreation staff members in providing recreational programs and organizing special events. Our board
members serve at the pleasure of the Aberdeen City Commissioners and have oversight responsibility for
recreational programs in our jurisdiction; we also advise the City Commissioners on park matters and represent
the city in park-related capital budget hearings at the county-level.
