Montgomery Parks to expand closure of Sligo Creek Parkway to vehicle traffic

In response to the COVID-19 virus, Montgomery Parks has closed portions of Sligo Creek Parkway from New Hampshire Avenue to Piney Branch Road to vehicular traffic. Prior to the pandemic, portions of Sligo Creek Parkway were closed on Sundays from sunrise until dusk to allow for non-vehicular, recreational use of the parkway. At a time when residents are eager for more outdoor recreational space and vehicular traffic is lower because of the effects of COVID-19, Montgomery Parks is expanding access to the parks system in their densely populated area.
