Adopt-a-Field (AAF) Information

The Montgomery County Public School’s (MCPS) Department of Facilities Management will potentially be entering an Adopt-a-Field (AAF) agreement at the site indicated below:
  • Taylor Center - 19501 White Ground Road, Boyds, MD
Also, as a point of information, existing AAF agreements at Westover Elementary and Bethesda Elementary have been extended due to the scheduled/ongoing construction at these sites that has and will continue to impact field use.
The Parks Department has opted not to allocate any additional fields at this time for AAF programming.
Existing field users have expressed interest in entering into such an agreement with MCPS and the Parks Department. However, pursuant to guidelines developed jointly by MCPS, The Parks Department and the Office of Community Use of Public Facilities (CUPF), which outlines a protocol for AAF programs, all field users are to be apprised of potential new AAF agreements and of any agreements that stand to be renewed, so that any interested entity might also submit an application to adopt fields.
