New Hampshire Estates Neighborhood Park Renovation

Help Shape the Future of New Hampshire Estates Neighborhood Park!

Montgomery Parks is planning a renovation of New Hampshire Estates Neighborhood Park, the 4.9-acre park is bounded by University Boulevard, Piney Branch Road, and Carroll Avenue in Silver Spring. The park will receive significant upgrades to better serve the community. With its proximity to the Piney Branch Purple Line station, this project presents a unique opportunity to create a pedestrian-accessible park with new amenities and vibrant green space in a rapidly urbanizing area.

Community Input Matters

We want to hear from you! Your feedback will help shape a park that reflects the character of your neighborhood and meets the needs of the community. Visit the project page for more information

Join us for a virtual community meeting: The meeting will be held in English and Spanish. For requests regarding other languages, please email Melissa.Chotiner@montgomeryparks.org by April 29, 2026.

Proposed Design Concepts

We’re excited to present two unique design concepts, both of which include:

  • Community plaza
  • Soccer (field or court)
  • Age-appropriate playgrounds
  • A community garden
  • Shaded picnic areas

Take the survey and tell us:

  • Which concept do you prefer and why?
  • What features are most important to you and your family?
  • How can we ensure the park feels authentic to your neighborhood?
