About the new South Silver Spring Park: The South Silver Spring Park will be located at 1110 East-West Highway, the former site of National Tire and Battery. Construction of the park will begin in late 2022 with the demolition of the existing building. The park will open to the public in 2023 and provide opportunities for active recreation, play, seating and social gatherings.
