Park Activity Buildings
Park Recreation & Ancillary Buildings Study
Project Update
A progress report titled, " Joint Workgroup Report and Recommendation Final Report" (pdf) has been completed and reviewed by the Montgomery County Park and Planning Commission and the County Council PHED committee. On November 3, 2009 it will be reviewed by the full County Council.
The Department of Parks, M-NCPPC (Parks) and the Montgomery County Government’s Recreation Department (MCRD) fully support the PHED Committee’s desire to improve and streamline the delivery of county-funded recreation programs. Both agencies have worked diligently over the past five months to examine the possible implications of facility and program transfers and identify opportunities to streamline and enhance customer service through improved technology and marketing.
The four area examine service improvements that could be achieved in four distinct areas:
- Programming and pricing;
- Facilities review;
- Technology, registration and payment; and,
- Marketing and Public Relations
The Park Activity Buildings were one facility examined in the facilities review. The main recommendation for the PABs is as follows:
- Strategically select a number of park activity buildings to transfer to MCRD to augment the county system of community recreation centers and enhance program service to residents, pending further DGS review.
Please refer to the section titled: "Individual Workgroup Report: Facilities (Park Activity Buildings/Event Centers) in the final report (pdf) for further details.
