Taylor Park Restrooms Closed for Renovations
Taylor Park Restroom Renovation Update
Unfortunately, the work is taking longer than originally anticipated. During the renovation, some unexpected issues were discovered that needed to be addressed before the project could continue. The project has also been delayed while we wait for some necessary materials to arrive.
At this time, we do not have a reliable estimate for when the renovation will be completed, but we will provide another update as soon as we have more information.
We know the extended closure is an inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while this work is completed properly.
A portable restroom remains available on-site for park visitors in the meantime.
Thank you for your patience as we work to make these improvements to Taylor Park!
This renovation project is being funded through the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Program Open Space Grant Program. We are grateful for this funding, which allows us to continue investing in Keedysville’s parks and recreational amenities for residents and visitors alike.

Know Before You Ride: Maryland E-Bike and E-Scooter Laws
Town Hall has recently received several questions and concerns regarding the use of e-bikes and e-scooters in our community. To help residents better understand the rules and safety requirements, we are sharing this helpful information from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. Please take a moment to review it and help keep our streets, sidewalks, and parks safe for everyone.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has seen an increase in the use of electric bikes and scooters throughout our community. While many of these devices are perfectly legal, some high-powered models being marketed as “e-bikes” may actually fall into a different vehicle classification under Maryland law.
Legal E-Bikes
Maryland recognizes three classes of electric bicycles. To qualify as an e-bike, the vehicle must have fully operable pedals and a motor of 750 watts or less.
• Class 1: Pedal-assist only, up to 20 mph
• Class 2: Throttle-powered, up to 20 mph
• Class 3: Pedal-assist only, up to 28 mph (operators must be at least 16 years old)
Legal e-bikes do not require registration, a driver’s license, or insurance.
Helmet Requirement
Maryland law requires all operators and passengers under the age of 16 riding an e-bike to wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office strongly encourages helmet use for riders of all ages. A helmet is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent serious injury in the event of a crash.
Electric Scooters
Electric scooters with a maximum speed of 20 mph do not require registration or a driver’s license. Riders must still obey all traffic laws, including stopping at stop signs, yielding right-of-way, and traveling in the proper direction of traffic.
Not All “E-Bikes” Are Legal E-Bikes
Many electric vehicles sold online today can reach speeds exceeding 30, 40, or even 50 mph. If a vehicle exceeds Maryland’s e-bike limits or lacks operable pedals, it may be classified as a moped, motor scooter, or motorcycle.
These vehicles may require:
A valid driver’s license
Registration and license plates
Insurance
Compliance with all applicable motor vehicle laws
Operating an improperly registered or unlicensed high-speed electric vehicle on public roadways may result in traffic citations, towing, and impoundment.
As summer begins and more riders take to our streets, trails, and neighborhoods, we encourage parents to ensure their children are wearing helmets and understand the rules of the road before riding.
Our goal is education and safety. Please ride responsibly, obey traffic laws, and help keep Washington County safe for everyone.
