About College Park
Maryland, MD
The City of College Park is in Prince George's County, Maryland. It is best
known as the home of the University of Maryland, College Park, and since 1994
the city has also been home to the National Archives at College Park, a facility
of the U.S. National Archives, as well as to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP).
College Park's United States Postal Service ZIP Codes are 20740, 20741 Berwyn
Heights; North College Park and 20742 University of Maryland. By the turn of the
21st century, College Park began experiencing significant development pressure.
Both students and city residents acknowledged the city's lack of amenities and
poor sense of place. In 2002, the city and county passed the Route 1 Sector
Plan, which allowed and encouraged mixed use development along College Park's
main roadway. Recent projects—like the East Campus Redevelopment Initiative, The
University View, The Varsity, and Landmark student apartments and the Northgate
Condos—give many in the community hope that the city, like other notable
American college towns, might one day have a vibrant downtown and a diverse
population. Since 2009, other notable architectural additions to College Park
have been: a parking garage (with The Ledo Restaurant on ground level) in
downtown near the intersection of Route 1 and Knox Road; The University View and
The Varsity student apartment towers with ground floor retail businesses;
graduate school apartment towers adjacent to The View apartments; and The Hotel
at the University of Maryland.
If you are sending a gift basket to a teacher or student keep in mind that the
end of a typical school day is around 3:pm so please keep this in mind when
sending gift baskets to a school and remember to place your order early.
Send a get well gift basket to a patient staying at any health care facility
located in College Park to cheer them up with some healthy fruit and bright balloons.

birthday wishes come true?
