As a part of the Wheaton Placemaking Initiative, Montgomery Planning will be partnering with the Wheaton Urban District to showcase what placemaking can do.
On Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1, Parking Lot 13 (11219 Grandview Avenue), directly behind the M-NCPPC Wheaton Headquarters, will showcase how underutilized public space in an urban center can be transformed to be functional, exciting, and recreational.
The parking lot will be temporarily transformed into a roller-skating rink and gathering space, fit with tables, seating, shading, decor, and the rink itself. Over the course of the two-day activation, the space will be open for public use, skating, demonstrations, entertainment, and eating and drinking.
Schedule
Saturday, May 31, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.: Wheels in Wheaton
Sunday, June 1, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.: Wheels in Wheaton, during the Wheaton Urban District’s Annual Taste of Wheaton
