The City of Frederick is inviting community members to participate in a pivotal Community Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at 6:00 PM. This event will take place at the Butterfly Ridge Elementary School Recreation Center, located at 601 Contender Way, Frederick, MD 21703. Attendees are encouraged to use the Recreation Center entrance at the rear of the building.

This meeting marks an important step in the design phase of the Hill Street Skatepark project, where public input will play a crucial role in shaping the vision for the new park. Residents will have the opportunity to hear updates regarding the proposed layout and design of the skatepark, as well as provide valuable feedback on various elements, including public art and cultural representation within the space.

Community engagement is vital to ensure that the skatepark reflects the values and identity of the neighborhood. Local voices will help create a space that not only serves skaters but also strengthens community ties and celebrates the rich culture of Frederick. The City encourages all residents to join the discussion and contribute their ideas.

For those who cannot attend in person, the meeting will be livestreamed for wider accessibility. Residents can tune in at cityoffrederickmd.gov/videos to participate remotely. This initiative underscores the City of Frederick’s commitment to fostering community involvement in local development projects, ensuring that the new skatepark serves as a vibrant and inclusive space for all.
