Montgomery County Announces Date for the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Good Hope Neighborhood Recreation Center

For Immediate Release: Wednesday, November 30, 2016

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett will participate in a groundbreaking ceremony to begin construction for a newly constructed Good Hope Neighborhood Recreation Center on Saturday, December 10 at 12:30 p.m. The facility is located at 14715 Good Hope Road in Silver Spring.

 

The new 14,000 square foot building will be more than twice the size of the original structure, vastly increasing capacity and making it more useful to the community. The new building will be located at Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s Good Hope Park and the site of the existing parking lot.  The new parking lot will be built on the site of the old building after it is demolished. The new lot will be closer to the tennis courts and ballfields.

 

Key building systems such as the structural system, exterior walls, elevators, roof and HVAC and electrical system have surpassed their useful service life; nor does it meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

 

Information about the facility is available at the Department of General Services’ website at http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DGS-BDC/EMC/720918.html. For information about the ceremony, call the Department of Recreation at 240-777-8099.
