Montgomery Parks is hosting a virtual community meeting about plans to renovate McKnew Local Park, located at 14901 Saddle Creek Drive, Burtonsville, MD 20866, on May 7th:

During the meeting park planners will discuss proposed renovations to the developed area of McKnew Local Park. The goal is to upgrade the old amenities, resolve drainage issues, and improve the park’s usability and accessibility.

Montgomery Parks previously received $5.495 million in capital funding for 13 projects from the state of Maryland during the 2023 legislative session. The funding will be used towards park projects in six legislative districts in Montgomery County that include trail and bridge projects, playground and athletic field improvements, sports court and skatepark amenities, community garden and picnic facilities, environmental restoration, and ADA enhancements. McKnew Local Park is scheduled to receive a “mini-refresher for loop trails and court improvements (District 14) – $250,000.”

Registration for the meeting is optional but encouraged to stay up to date on future meetings and information about this project.
