Lakeforest Mall will spend $1.2 million on improvements

Gaithersburg, Md. — Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg, Md., today announced a $1.2 million renovation plan. Improvements will include a reconfiguration of the center court, a new and improved children’s play area and new furniture for the food court.



Work will level the 5,245-sq.-ft. center court to create a space that will host community events such as the Lunar New Year Celebration, Summer Camp Expo and holiday promotions. Center court renovations will finish up by early November.



A new play area, Adventure in The Forest opened in the courtyard near J.C. Penney in July, featuring an oak tree, jeep, helicopter and canoe in a Maryland woodland backdrop of Black-eyed Susans, a terrapin turtle and a Baltimore Checkerspot Butterfly.
