Geese mitigation to close part of Kemp Mill Urban Park in Wheaton this month

Part of Kemp Mill Urban Park at 1200 Arcola Avenue in Wheaton will be temporarily closed off to the public starting this month. The Montgomery Parks department is installing fencing around ponds to deter geese from nesting in the park.

Pathways and boardwalks around the ponds will be closed as workers prepare the area for the fencing installation. The rest of the park, including the playground, will remain open as usual during the project. Watch for detours at times.
