Overview
- A deal announced Wednesday between Prince George’s County and a team led by Kevin Durant confirmed the purchase of roughly 500 acres at the shuttered Bowie park.
- County officials said community meetings will shape plans for entertainment, retail, restaurants and housing rather than reopening an amusement park.
- Durant’s 35V and Atlanta-based TPA Group are the buyers, with officials emphasizing a destination project guided by local input.
- Council Chair Krystal Oriadha said the county aims to at least double the park’s roughly $3 million annual tax take through the redevelopment.
- The sale price, timeline and housing numbers have not been released, and the former park—closed after the 2025 season—had used only about one-fifth of the property, leaving broad room for new uses.
