As part of a
massive wave of facility improvements currently
underway, Maryland International Raceway (MIR) needs
your help with a special project dedicated to our
youngest fans and future drag racers: the complete
replacement of the track's 34-year-old playground.
Through a new community partnership, MIR has been
working closely with St. Mary’s County Parks &
Recreation. In a unique trade agreement, MIR will
receive existing playground equipment from the county in
exchange for marketing and promotions for the Wicomico
Shores Golf Course and Restaurant, as well as other
county recreation programs.
The Challenge
While the equipment itself is being provided through
this partnership, the logistics of the renovation are a
significant undertaking. To prepare the site for our
families, MIR must manage:
- The removal of the donated playground set from a St Mary's County park and delivery to MIR.
- The removal and disposal of the existing equipment at
MIR.
- The removal of outdated fencing and old ground
surfacing.
- The purchase and installation of all-new safety
materials, specialized ground covering, and new fencing.
How You Can Help
We are calling on our racing family and the local
community to help us cross the finish line on this
project. Every dollar raised goes directly toward
providing a safe, fun, and updated environment for the
children who visit our facility every weekend.

"Our future racers and fans deserve a space that is as
exciting and safe as the track itself," said MIR owner,
Royce Miller. "We are grateful for the support of St.
Mary's County Parks and Recreation and look forward to
seeing our community come together to build this for the
kids."
