SILVER SPRING, MD-The
Montgomery County Department of Parks invites community participation
in a workshop on the proposed renovation and expansion of North Four
Corners Local Park-211 Southwood Avenue, Silver Spring-Tuesday, June 12
at 7:00 pm.
The Montgomery County
Planning Board approved the facility plan for the park on September 22,
2005. The approved plan includes a total of two multi-purpose
rectangular sports fields: the existing field within the older area of
the park and a new field within the undeveloped area along University
Boulevard. The Montgomery County Council reviewed the project for
approval of funding for final design and construction as part of the
fiscal year 2007-2012 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) and requested
additional study of park ball field needs and alternatives to the
facility plan approved by the Planning Board, including options for one
or two soccer fields and alternative non-soccer uses for the park’s
existing field and proposed new field.
At the community
meeting, the Department of Parks will present an assessment of park
field needs and alternative design concepts. Public input will be taken
on these presented plans and additional ideas will be welcomed. As part
of its summary of findings for the County Council, the Department of
Parks will incorporate public input taken during this meeting.
