PARKS AND RECREATION Oakington Peninsula Index #593003

ORIGIN/PURPOSE: The Oakington Peninsula is a regional park offering a variety of passive recreation for all ages. Activities include environmental studies, fishing, hiking and migratory bird watching. The park is comprised of two separate farms - Swan Harbor Farm and Oakington Farm (Eleanor and Millard Tydings Park). In cooperation with Maryland State Department of Natural Resources and Program Open Space (POS), Harford County purchased the 461 acre Swan Harbor Farm in 1994 and uses the grounds and large house to host over 100 weddings, conferences and other special events each year. It is one of Harford County's most sought after investments. In 1998, the 328 acre Oakington Farm was acquired as a measure to preserve Harford County's agricultural integrity and support local business growth.The revenue generated from this property is used for the necessary upkeep, improvements and maintenance of the entire peninsula.

Oakington Peninsula was established under Parks and Recreation's Special Revenue Fund 26 accounts per Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 and adopted by the Harford County Council in 2001.
