anchor Description
Laytonia Recreational Park is located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Muncaster Mill Road and Airpark Road in the Derwood area of Rockville. Access to this new park will be from Airpark Road. The park consists of three parcels totaling nearly 51 acres: an undeveloped surplus school site, a parcel dedicated through the subdivision process, and adjacent church property purchased by MNCPPC. The new County Animal Shelter is located on a 7-acre portion of the property. The approved plan includes: one full-size lit, irrigated baseball field; one lit synthetic turf field; two rectangular irrigated turf fields; 240 parking spaces with the potential for 50 additional spaces in the future if needed; playground; basketball court; combination restroom picnic shelter; and trails.
