Montgomery Planning Board commissioners are considering building a new soccer field at a park in Silver Spring, despite complaints about the project’s cost and impact on the neighborhood.

Planning Board members are talking about adding a large new athletic field and more parking at North Four Corners Local Park at University Boulevard and Southwood Avenue. The area is now home to a 175-year-old walnut tree and large parcel of open space called Rachel Carson Meadow in honor of the environmentalist who hailed from Silver Spring.
