The City of Gaithersburg has started planning for the City’s newest park, a 2.99 acre parcel located at the corner of Decoverly Drive and Steinbeck Avenue in Crown. The park will occupy a portion of the original 175-acre property that was annexed into the City in 2006. While the parcel is a generous size, after accounting for required easements and stream valley buffers, the usable park space will be about 1.5 acres.   

The 19th century Corn Crib Barn is the oldest surviving structure from the former England-Crown Farm. It will be undergoing preservation in late 2021. Read more about it in an in-depth feature article in the spring, 2021 edition of inGaithersburg Magazine.

Design for the Crown Farm Park is nearing its final stages. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction will be issued this fall, with work anticipated to begin in early 2026. The park is expected to open to the public by fall 2026.
