Battery Lane Park will officially reopen tomorrow, Saturday, November 9, 2019. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held from 10:00 AM to noon. There will be games to play and refreshments will be served. The park is located at 4960 Battery Lane. It actually reopened to the public this past July.
Improvements you will find when visiting include a new 5500 SF playground, a new outdoor fitness station, accessible picnic areas with concrete surface, new color-coating on the basketball court, a wider and resurfaced Bethesda Trolley Trail, realigned and repaved pathways, and new benches and lighting. Two new features you won't see are an improved stormwater management system, and new tree plantings, the latter because they won't be planted until next spring.
That’s a bit odd, because fall is considered the best time to plant trees.
ReplyDelete@6:36 - The County does a lot of spring planting too, a bunch of my neighbors got new street trees back in April.
ReplyDeleteI suspect many assaults there.
ReplyDeleteSo, did you attend the opening ceremony, Mr. "Mayor of Bethesda"?
ReplyDeleteI was mugged while at Battery Lane Park. I think it was Assault and Battery.
