This project provides a new park at 2205 Kansas Avenue in the Lyttonsville neighborhood of Silver Spring. The park will serve as a rest stop with amenities along the Capital Crescent Trail and the Purple Line light rail, while providing environmental benefits and highlighting the unique character and history of Greater Lyttonsville. The park is located on a 0.71-acre parcel of land currently owned by the Maryland Transit Administration, which is currently serving as a staging area for construction of the Purple Line and will be transferred to the M-NCPPC upon completion of the Purple Line. The approved facility plan for this new park creates a series of terraced spaces to transition topographic grades and offer a variety of experiences that will engage all age groups. Features of this park include a Bridge Memorial that incorporates elements of the historic Talbot Avenue Bridge to commemorate the bridge and unique history of Lyttonsville, an informal amphitheater, multi-purpose lawn, terraces for gathering and picnicking, historic interpretive elements, shaded contemplative spaces with play opportunities, accessible paths and ramps, a landscape buffer along the southern property line, site furnishings and amenities, stormwater management, and sustainable landscaping.
