According to a social media post by Montgomery County Recreation on Wednesday morning, a water proofing test took place for the main pool at the building site of the Silver Spring Recreation and Aquatic Center this week. Construction on the South County Regional Recreation and Aquatic Center that is located at 1315 Apple Ave began in 2019.
The new facility will be located in Downtown Silver Spring, in the ‘Central Business District’ of Silver Spring as part of a Public-Private Partnership undertaken with the Housing Opportunity Commission and the Lee Development Group. According to a recent report by Source of the Spring, “This is not just a pool, it’s a monster… It combines an aquatic facility and a large recreation center. We do not have this kind of space down county.”
Nathan Henderson of Boy Scout Troop 439 recently completed his Eagle Scout project at Leonard D. Jackson Ken Gar Center in Kensington. The Eagle Scout is the highest achievement or rank attainable in the Scouts BSA program of the Boy Scouts of America.
Nathan’s project included building and installing two benches, removing bushes, planting new bushes, and laying mulch. Thank you to Town of Kensington Public Works for pouring concrete bases for the benches. Nathan’s parents, John and Patti, were also present for the project. You can see photos of the project below.
