Black Hill Park Site of Cultural Celebration

Sunday, April 7, 2002

Black Hill Regional Park on West Old Baltimore Road and Lake Ridge Drive, in Boyds, Maryland will be a site where an important day in the Iranian New Year – “Sizdeh Bedar” - will be celebrated all day on Sunday, April 7. Because of this event’s popularity, The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s Montgomery County Department of Park and Planning is encouraging participants to park at Germantown Campus of Montgomery College, 20200 Observation Drive, Germantown for $15 per car and take a free Ride-On shuttle bus throughout the day to Black Hill Regional Park. Some of the buses are handicapped accessible. Parking at Black Hill will only be available prior to 8 a.m. and will be $25 per car. After that time, West Old Baltimore Road will be closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic. No pets are allowed at the park during this event. To get to the college parking lot, take I-270 to exit 15 (Rt. 118 North). Turn right at the first traffic light onto Observation Drive. Those attending can tune to 590 on the AM radio dial for traffic updates about park road closings and traffic advisories.

This celebration is sponsored by the House of Iran in cooperation with The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and Montgomery County. For more information, call (301) 650-2890 or visit M-NCPPC’s website at www.montgomeryplanningboard.org or the House of Iran’s website at www.houseofiran.org.
