Residents Encouraged to Complete Bethesda Market Park Community Surveys

On March 15 and 16, the County Parks Department hosted community meetings to review and discuss ideas for features and amenities in the new park to be created adjacent to the Farm Women's Market. One part of the park will occupy most of the parking lot behind the market; the other part will be built on the parking lot between Leland and Walsh streets. The Parks Department has published the presentation from the community meetings. The presentation contains three images that we think would be of particular interest to residents. These images present the concepts for how the space would be used and propose certain key features.

The Parks Department is now conducting an online survey, open through April 15, for Bethesda and Chevy Chase residents to share their ideas and feedback. We encourage residents to participate in this survey, including residents who were not able to attend the community meetings. The presentation and the particular images highlighted above provide sufficient background to respond to the survey. 

The Town also would welcome hearing from residents about what amenities you would like to see in this park. We are asking residents to complete the Town survey since the comments collected in the Parks Department survey will not indicate whether a respondent is a Town resident, and the Town Council would like to know the views of our residents specifically.
