Montgomery Parks is inviting the public to join in a celebration of the newly renovated Hillwood Manor Neighborhood Park playground. Attendees will enjoy fun on the modernized playground, refreshments, and giveaways. The festivities will be held:
Saturday, March 25, 2023
2:00-3:30 p.m.
Hillwood Manor Neighborhood Park
1301 Elson Street, Takoma Park, MD 20912
Speaking program begins at 2:15 p.m.
(Rain date: April 1, 2023)
The renovated playground has play structures designed for children ages 2-12. The update is part of Montgomery Parks Playground Renovation Program, which replaces up to six existing playgrounds each year. As part of the renovation, Montgomery Parks partnered with the City of Takoma Park to address stormwater runoff from 13th Street near the park. There is also stormwater management under the playground surface area. About the Park:
Hillwood Manor Neighborhood Park sits on two acres along Sligo Creek with direct access to the Sligo Creek Trail and other park amenities. Montgomery Parks took over management of Hillwood Manor Park in 1997, when Montgomery County acquired the park and surrounding land from Prince George’s County.
