The South Germantown Adventure Playground, located at 17920 Germantown Park Dr., will be closed for construction from summer 2025 through spring 2026. The new playground will feature inclusive, high-performance play areas, nature play, intergenerational activities, and opportunities for learning and social connection.
According to Montgomery Parks, the proposed program seeks to provide multi-purpose high performance play activities and nature play for children of all ages and ability levels, opportunities for intergenerational play and prospects for learning and social interaction. The project intends to adopt the current framework which provides loop access to individual play areas to maximize efficiency and adaptability.
Besides play components, the project elements will include accessible walkways, multi-purpose terraces, open space, picnic area, game/workout area, site furnishings, tree shade, signage, related stormwater management, and landscape improvements.
The project has completed the detailed design phase and has successfully obtained the required regulatory permits. Construction documents have been issued for bidding to pre-qualified contractors. Work is expected to begin in June 2025.
