Rockville continues to seek community input on plans for historic King Farm Farmstead Park, scheduling a new round of public engagement sessions aimed at refining potential uses for the property.
Upcoming community filtering sessions will allow residents to review and provide feedback on preliminary concepts derived from earlier public input.
The sessions are scheduled for Wednesday, May 28, at Saddle Ridge Community Center at King Farm, 300 Saddle Ridge Circle; Thursday, May 29, at Glenview Mansion, 603 Edmonston Drive; and Tuesday, June 3, a virtual session held online.
All sessions will be held from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
King Farm Farmstead Park is a 7-acre historic site at 1101 Grand Champion Drive, featuring eight buildings, including a main residence, horse and dairy barns, and other outbuildings. The city designated the site a historic district in 2006, incorporating it into Rockville’s park system.
These filtering sessions follow a series of community visioning meetings conducted earlier in the spring. Feedback gathered during these sessions, along with survey results and extensive prior studies, will inform recommendations presented to the Rockville Mayor and Council for the property’s master plan.
“The community’s continued involvement is essential,” said Tara Stewart, director of Rockville’s Department of Recreation and Parks. “These sessions are an important step in shaping how this cherished property can best serve our residents.”
