Hi! Yes - the plan is to keep those trees. A walking path will be integrated within them. Thanks for your note!

As I review the development projects for White Flint Development I am somewhat disapointed in the focus of residential housing on rentals and small apartments to attract the young. Mongomery County has a large senior population segment that are interested in "downsizing" from their present single family homes to 2 bedroom and den condos.

Hi! The facility planned adjacent to the Aquatic Center is a large recreation center that will serve all age groups, but particularly have very robust programming for seniors. Here's how the county describes it: "the project will include an approximately 46,200 gross square foot community recreation center. This building will include typical elements such as a gymnasium, exercise room, social hall, kitchen, senior/community lounge, arts/kiln room, game room, vending space, conference room, offices, lobby, restrooms and storage space in association with the development of the White Flint Community Recreation and Aquatic Center (Shriver Aquatic Center) and Wall Park." The project is in the very early planning stages. It's not yet been funded by the county - they say the timeline is dependent on other factors within White Flint redevelopment. We expect it's going to be a big part of our advocacy over the next year or two.
