City of Takoma Park

Takoma Park, MD

Talisha Searcy

Mayor

Pledge Summary

The City of Takoma Park is a municipality of approximately 17,000 residents in Montgomery County, Maryland. Takoma Park is bordered by Washington, D.C. on the south and Prince George’s County on the north and east. Takoma Park is densely populated but feels comfortable due to its hills and large trees. Takoma Park is known as “Azalea City” because of the many flowering azalea bushes that brighten the area in the spring. Mayor Talisha Searcy is committed to helping Monarchs and other pollinators thrive in our Safe Grow community.
