Montgomery Parks announces the name of its newest park in downtown Silver Spring is Bottleworks Lane Urban Park, following a public voting process. The park, located at 1110 East-West Highway (the former National Tire and Battery site), is currently under construction and expected to open in the spring of 2026.
Over 500 people participated in the naming contest, with 71% of the vote in favor of Bottleworks Lane Urban Park. Two other proposed park names included Kennett Street Urban Park and South Silver Spring Urban Park.
“Bottleworks Lane Urban Park references the park’s industrial roots while honoring the former Coca-Cola Bottling Works plant on the site and the nearby former Canada Dry Bottling Works plant,” said Henry Coppola, Montgomery Parks planning supervisor for the Park Planning and Stewardship Division
The one-acre, newly named Bottleworks Lane Urban Park will serve as an active, urban, recreational space featuring a promenade, a playground, a fitness area, a multi-sport court, a dog run, and a picnic area, among other amenities.
