[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]County Government and MNCPPC (the owners of most of the parks in the county) are two separate entities. MNCPPC is not technically part of the Montgomery County government.  There has always been a bit of a pissing match between the two entities based on my experience dealing with them so this doesn't surprise me at all.  Completely childish and incompetent - but not unexpected.

Plenty of playgrounds open though WITH NO REQUIREMENTS - City of Rockville, Gaithersburg, ES schools, HOAs or the parks close to me where sections of the orange netting has been torn down for weeks and people are happily using them.

What this is bringing to light is at the parks department runs separately from everybody including the state. It shouldn’t work that way.[/quote]

Yup. They can’t be their own fiefdom like this. [/quote]

They aren't their own fiefdom. They're part of a state-level agency: Montgomery-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.[/quote]

It's an independent agency, not a state-level agency.  It was chartered by the state, but there's no state-level oversight.  The governing body is actually appointed by the Montgomery County Council and the PG County Executive.  It seems like a strange set up to me.[/quote]
