Bethesda Market Park
Preliminary Plan Presentation
On Wednesday, June 14 at 7 p.m. via Zoom, the Parks Department will present the preliminary plan for the Bethesda Market Park.

Residents are encouraged to attend this meeting to review the plan and learn how the project will proceed.
Advanced registration for the meeting is encouraged but not required. Anyone may join the meeting via the Zoom link. More information on the Bethesda Market Park project is available here.
