Montgomery Parks will begin construction on the South Silver Spring Urban Park this spring, according to Montgomery Parks planner Ching-Fang Chen.
Located at 1110 East-West Highway, the park will include a multi-sports court, picnic area, pollinator garden, stage, shelter, and nature play space.
The initial construction began in fall 2023.
The site, formerly home to a National Tire and Battery auto center, was purchased in 2021 for $7.5 million after approval from the Montgomery County Council.
Montgomery Parks hopes to acquire the adjacent Iglesia De Dios Pentecostal property to expand the park, but the church’s owners have not agreed to sell.
Construction is set to begin in late March or early April, with an opening planned for spring 2026.
A naming contest will launch later this month.
