The future South Silver Spring Park will serve as an active recreation space to complement the historic and contemplative setting of nearby Acorn Urban Park.
Parks staff will share information about the project and initial findings from a community survey about the future park and collect input from attendees about what type of amenities they would like in the park.

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. The park will also connect nearby public spaces in downtown Silver Spring districts by linking East-West Highway and Kennett Street. The park will connect to the Green Loop, a pedestrian and bicyclist-friendly path proposed in the Silver Spring Downtown and Adjacent Communities Plan,connecting neighborhoods and destinations.
