Consultant to Determine Support for Facility
Portions of the Rockville community will soon be surveyed to determine if they support a new community recreation center. The location that is most closely being considered is within Potomac Woods Park.
The city has contracted a consultant to design, develop and administer the survey. More community input will be sought through public meetings. Once the results are tallied, the consultant will prepare a report for the Mayor and Council. The input will be analyzed to determine the level of support for a new recreation facility.
Additionally, the report will identify what amenities, such as meeting and rental space, a gym and fitness equipment, are wanted at the new center.
Funding for the consultant’s study and public outreach was included in the Fiscal Year 2018 Capital Improvements Program budget, available to view at www.rockvillemd.gov/budget. The CIP is Rockville’s five-year plan for capital investment.
There are three community centers throughout Rockville: Lincoln Park Community Center, at 357 Frederick Ave.; Twinbrook Community Recreation Center, at 12920 Twinbrook Parkway; and Thomas Farm Community Center, at 700 Fallsgrove Road.
