Traffic Advisory: Construction at Watkins Regional Park Entrance

Please be advised that construction work will take place at the main entrance to Watkins Regional Park, located at 301 Watkins Park Drive, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772, from August 3 through August 14, 2026, weather permitting.

As part of a trail improvement project, contractors will excavate the grass hillside near the park entrance to prepare for a new asphalt and concrete trail.

During weekday work hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm), the main park entrance will be reduced to one lane of traffic. Traffic will continue to enter and exit the park under the direction of the on-site traffic control crew.

Please use caution, expect minor delays, and be aware of construction vehicles, heavy equipment, and workers in the area.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete these improvements.

Sincerely,
M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation, Prince George’s County
