Announcements
- Due to severe budget cuts and a shortage of available staff and supplies, effective September 1, 2010, Montgomery Parks will lay out and paint local park fields only once at the beginning of each season. Teams and leagues will need to restripe local fields as needed throughout the season. Restriping must be done over existing lines only, using the same colors initially put down by the Department of Parks. If a local field is damaged as a result of a storm, flooding, vandalism, etc., Parks staff will lay out and paint the field again with new lines.
This change will not apply to regional and recreational park fields. Those fields will continue to be laid out and painted by Montgomery Parks as appropriate for regular, seasonal use. We appreciate your understanding.

- Local park field fees will increase from $3/hour to $5/hour for the Spring 2011 season. This was approved by the Planninig Board on Thursday, May 20.
- The Silver Spring Permit Office hours have expanded to 8:30am-7:30pm every Thursday and Friday to better accommodate our customers. We hope you will find the new hours more convenient.
