Takoma-Piney
Branch Park Renovation
The Steve Francis Foundation donated $70,000 to Montgomery County Parks to pay for the complete renovation of the Takoma-Piney Branch Local Park basketball courts and the construction of a handful of other top-notch facilities, including a skateboard park, volleyball court, playground and a pavilion dedicated to his late mother, who passed away when Francis was just 18 years old. It is a true example of how a private-public partnership can work, as SFF paid for the improvements and Montgomery County Parks agreed to maintain and upkeep the Park.
