[Archived] Public Invited to Attend a Community Meeting to discuss the draft Montgomery Park Improvement Plan

For Immediate Release: October 26, 2015 

The Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities will host a public meeting on Tuesday, November 17 at 8 a.m. at the Montgomery Park Gazebo, 901 N. Royal St., to review and provide input on a draft park plan. The plan, released Fall 2014 is part of the Neighborhood Parks Improvement Plan for the 17 neighborhood-serving parks throughout the City. The Plan aims to reflect the community feedback we received over the twelve month planning process, and will serve as a guide in setting priorities and budgeting for enhancing our parks and, subsequently, improving the health of Alexandria’s natural environment and its people.  

To view the draft plan, click here. The Montgomery Park Improvement Plan begins on page 74. 

Staff will present comments from the community meeting to the Park and Recreation Commission at their November meeting.

Persons unable to attend may submit ideas and comments for the Park and Recreation Commission to review to Dana Wedeles, Park Planner, at dana.wedeles@alexandriava.gov. In the event of bad weather we will meet at an indoor location, to be determined.
