South Turkey Run Park

In 2019, the National Park Service (NPS) sought public input on a vision and initial concepts for the future use and enjoyment of South Turkey Run Park, formerly known as the Claude Moore Colonial Farm. Through public meetings and comments sent online and by mail, we received helpful ideas and feedback from stakeholders, neighbors, and visitors about the park.

The information we received from public comments was used to create the South Turkey Run Concept Plan. The plan includes a framework and set of concepts that will help the NPS make future management decisions. The plan highlights three potential concepts to reach the goal of a re-imagined South Turkey Run Park: Adventure and Exploration, Cultivation and Connection and Rejuvenation and Renewal. Each concept includes the opportunity to host or attend events, hike through an expanded trail system, and experience more universally accessible areas.

We would like to again thank each of you who shared ideas during the public comment period. We appreciate your continued interest in South Turkey Run Park, and while the pandemic has slowed our concept selection, we remain committed to the project and will keep you up to date on our progress and next steps.
