TRUCK RODEO SHOWCASES SKILLED
WORKFORCE AND INSPIRES FUTURE CAREERS
The Truck Rodeo once again invited residents to experience a day of live competition and hands-on demonstrations at Regency Furniture Stadium. Held
on October 1, the free, family-friendly event showcased the skill and precision
of Charles County’s equipment operators as they navigated obstacle courses
and demonstrated the heavy machinery that keeps the community running.
In addition to the action on the course, attendees had the opportunit y to
connect with Human Resources representatives to learn more about current
career opportunities with Charles County Government. Recreation, Parks, and
Tourism also hosted a Trade Skills Career Fair during the Truck Rodeo, which
offered an opportunity for students age 13–18 to meet with industry professionals, see equipment demonstrations, and learn what it’s like to work in their
fields. The event highlighted both the professionalism of the County workforce
and the community partnerships that support local government operations.

NEW LOCATION FOR RECREATION, PARKS, AND
TOURISM HEADQUARTERS
Charles County Government Annual Report • 2025
In 2025, the Department of Recreation, Parks, and Tourism transitioned its administrative headquarters to a dedicated office space
at 107 Centennial Street, Suite A in La Plata. This move centralizes
the department’s recreation, parks, and tourism functions in a
modern and accessible location, improving coordination of programs, services, and community engagement efforts.
The new headquarters serves as the primary point of contact for
residents and visitors seeking information about recreational activities, park facilities, registration services, and tourism resources.
By bringing key staff and functions together under one roof, the
department is better positioned to support expanded services,
streamline operations, and foster partnerships that enhance quality
of life throughout Charles County.
This relocation reflects a broader commitment to strengthening
customer service and operational efficiency across the department.
