The purpose of this survey is to gauge the opinion of Clarksburg residents about the development plans for Ovid Hazen Wells Recreational Park. For the first phase, the Montgomery Parks Development Division is bidding out the project to relocate the carousel from Wheaton Regional park to Ovid Hazen Wells Recreational Park along with three (3) new playgrounds, a swing area, a slide area, and a playground area. They are also planning to build a skateboard park.

Several years ago, the County made a presentation to residents regarding their plans to construct a Recreational Center at Ovid Hazen Wells Park. The Rec Center was to include an Olympic-sized swimming pool, indoor gym, indoor basketball court, yoga room, community meeting rooms, and senior center during weekdays. Such a Rec Center would be a significant benefit to the residents of our community and could be utilized by the many age groups that comprise our residents. The Rec Center plan was part of the Clarksburg Master Plan. It has not moved forward. Recognizing the tremendous benefit that a Rec center would provide community residents, and also being cognizant of the significant property tax revenue produced by our residences, the Boards of Directors for the Park Ridge Homeowners Association, Arora Hills Homeowners Association, and the Clarksburg Village Community Association are requesting Park and Planning to revive the Rec Center. We plan to advocate having a Rec Center located at Ovid Hazen Wells Park. This survey is instrumental in presenting the views of the community on how Ovid Hazen Wells Park is developed.
We are working to schedule a community information meeting with the County officials responsible for the projects at Ovid Hazen Wells Park. As an initial step, we will share the results of this survey with the County, hence it is very important that all residents respond to the survey - there's POWER in numbers.

Please plan to attend the community meeting with County officials. Meeting details will be provided at a later date.

Please respond to the survey by September 10th and actively encourage all of your neighbors to do the same.
