Dear Trees Committee and Friends.

Rec and Parks (RAP) is addressing parks needs Thursday morning right after the regular RAP commissioners meeting. 

RAP is in the process of preparing a Park Needs Assessment, and this will be discussed at a meeting of the Facility Repair & Maintenance Commission Task Force on Thursday, February 6, at approx. 10:00 am. The meeting will be held at the Chevy Chase Recreation Center, 4165 E. Chevy Chase Drive. The Task Force will only take public comment from those who show up in person.
