Construction Work at Dogwood Park


The City of Rockville Department of Recreation and Parks is planning improvements to the basketball and tennis courts at Dogwood Park during fall 2017 and spring 2018. Improvements to park facilities are scheduled on a rotating basis every five years. Work is planned to start in December 2017 with replacement of the basketball nets. In early to midspring 2018 (weather permitting), the city will resurface and repaint the tennis and basketball courts.

Work will consist of the following:

  • Replacing six basketball goals and repainting courts in the spring.
  • Resurfacing three tennis courts and adding pickleball lines to one court.
  • Replacing the fence around the perimeter of the tennis courts and installing two gates.

Notification signs will be posted at the park approximately one week before improvements are
scheduled to begin. The tennis court and basketball court areas will not be accessible during these times.

Please contact Mauricio Daza, Parks and Facilities Development Specialist, at 240-314-8620 if you have any questions.
