We are seeking public input on the current park and what residents would like to see in the renovation.

Opinions can be submitted via our online survey at this website:  Wheaton Forest Local Park survey or by scanning the QR code on the attached English and Spanish version flyers.   

The survey should only take five minutes to complete. The results will be used to help guide future park improvements.

MCDOT - Bike Donation Drive -

 Community Service Month

Do you have an extra bicycle you no longer need?

On Friday, October 20, 2023, Montgomery County's Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will once again sponsor a bike collection drive during this year's Community Service Month.

Donated child / adult bikes and bike parts will be accepted from 7:00am to 2:00pm on Friday, October 20, 2023. (No bike helmets, please)

Donations will go to the Rockville Bike Hub, a non-profit organization whose volunteers refurbish the bikes and give them to low-income residents throughout the County, through Rockville's Terrific Kids and MCDOT's Bike Match MoCo programs.

Residents may also donate by check to the Rockville Bike Hub during the bicycle collection event. All donated funds will be used to purchase bike helmets and parts to repair the bikes.
