RedGate Park
View the Meeting on the Proposed Concept
The City of Rockville hosted two community engagement meetings to present the latest concept plan and entertain your thoughts and feedback. If you missed either of the meetings, please view the recording of the virtual meeting below.
What should RedGate Park look like in 10 years? Twenty years?
When the 131-acre RedGate golf course closed, the City of Rockville Mayor and Council voted unanimously to keep the land — one of the city’s largest remaining areas of open space — as a park.
But the question is, what kind of park? What amenities should RedGate Park have?
Now it's time to decide the details: trails for walking, biking and hiking? A dog park? Picnic areas? Natural areas for birdwatching and habitat preservation? An amphitheater for events? New sports fields with lights?
Over the next year, we invite to join your city to envision — and design — the future for RedGate Park.
Meetings to Gather Community Input on RedGate Park Proposed Concept
Members of the public will, at two community meetings in April, have an opportunity to review and comment on the Mayor and Council’s preferred concept for the future of the 131-acre RedGate Park.

• 10 A.M.-NOON, SATURDAY, APRIL 23
RedGate Park, 14500 Avery Road.
An in-person meeting, conducted in an open house format. Exhibits will provide information about the proposed concept and staff will be available to answer questions and receive comments. No formal presentation or discussions are planned. Visitors are encouraged to arrive at their leisure between 10 a.m. and noon.
The preferred concept includes a small-scale amphitheater, community gardens, a nature playground, an arboretum, picnic areas, a network of trails and renovating the existing clubhouse.
Plans for the park were developed based on the city’s strategic plan for recreation and parks in Rockville, considerable engagement with and feedback from the community, input from the Mayor and Council, and environmental constraints of natural features at the park.
