Hungerford-Stoneridge turtle relocation and construction
From Gae Kosarek, City of Rockville:
Hello again,
I’m pleased to report that our efforts were successful and our volunteers from MATTS were able to relocate 77 turtles!
Unfortunately, with the lowering of the water
level, all of the existing organic matter, and the decaying remains of
the fish which were unable to be removed, there will be a bit of an odor
from the facility for what we expect will be a
short period of time. We apologize in advance for this. It is one of
the challenges of the project that is difficult to manage. Please feel
free to steer any concerned residents in my direction and/or forward
this message through your distribution channels.
It would also be helpful if you could pass along
the word that we are advising any curious residents against wandering
into the drained area of the facility. The boundary between firmish
ground and that which will suck the shoes right
off of your feet is very sudden.
Thanks again for your community’s support and understanding of this project!
Best,
-Gabe

Stream Clean-up Event
Stream Clean-up Event
Date/Time: Saturday, April 14 from 9 am to noon.
April 14 is the date of the Potomac River Watershed Cleanup, so most of the Rockvillle cleanups will also be held on this day. We clean Dawson Creek, which runs down the middle of Ritchie Parkway, specifically the section from Copperstone Court to West Edmonston Drive.
Bags and gloves will be provided.
A sign-up sheet will be posted later to get count for gloves.
**Meet at the table at Ritchie Pkwy and W. Edmonston. **
Everyone must sign a waiver form (provided). Students can get SSL credit.
We hope that the neighborhood can come together for this event to demonstrate our commitment to our neighborhood. Even an hour of your time would make a difference.
Both Elizabeth Crane and Monica Berger are certified Weed Warriors with MC Parks. We want to use the opportunity to help neighbors identify invasive weeds and tackle some of the porcelainberry and garlic mustard along the creek.

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.
