City-County Park Improvements Project – In 2017, the city of Elkton was awarded a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant to make much needed improvements in the Elkton-Todd County Park.  The grant awarded was in the amount of $75,000 and is matched by the Elkton-Todd County Recreation Commission in the amount of $75,000 in cash and in-kind services for a total project value of $150,000.

Plans for this project include replacing some wooden light poles around the ball fields with metal poles and new LED lighting.
