Prince George's County Dinosaur Park
In December 1995, Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission acquired 22 acres near Blue Ponds Park, Muirkirk, Prince George's County, Maryland , for a Dinosaur Park. This park will be a permanent site for participatory dinosaur digs, open to the public. It is currently open 12-4pm the first and third Saturday of each month. You can help support Dr. Kranz and other local scientists in developing the Dinosaur Park. |
