It…read morewas a beautifully summer day in the 90s and the great thing about this park is that there is lots of shade. There was a large picnic space as you enter the park area along with an area with play structures to the right for the little ones. The lake is the centerpiece of the park and the trail goes around it. There were a good number of benches and sitting areas where you could sit and enjoy the view. There were a number of people biking on the trail. The trail was a loop and it was enough distance to get some exercise but not too long that you will get worn out. Everything was green and there were lots of beautiful views. I definitely can see myself coming back here with the entire family.

So just because the stated hours are open during the week, doesn't mean there's anything going on and you can't like go behind the fence and there's no digs or anything, or even any place to walk. Sure there's picnic tables if you wanna just sit and eat your lunch with a bunch of corporate office buildings all around but it's definitely not something I would drive 45 minutes to unless you're actively going to one of the scheduled interpretive program.

Bathrooms are mediocre because I've definitely seen worse. They do have a caretaker onsite 24/7 who drives around every hour but he can probably just see everyone from his camp setup. I'd only stay here again for a quick nights rest and go. I wouldn't recommend this for a family camping trip and I certainly wouldn't stay a few days. A shady character cooked something in the fire pit near me (unoccupied site) then left. This entire neighborhood seems to have shady humans so if you're scared of the strange occupants that dwell in city life, just steer clear of Greenbelt, MD altogether. It doesn't bother me but I'm also just passing by, not having a family outing here.

It has been a long time, and I knew I was going to be rusty, so I got to the tennis court early and was going to practice hitting against the tennis wall (is there a name for it?)... Not every tennis court has one so I was happy to see it. But then I realized I had to use the bathroom. That turned into a 20 minute ordeal. I parked on the side of the park farthest away from the tennis courts, so walking around took a bit. I only counted three porter potties in the entire park, and one was locked. The other two were a good 5-minute walk away, actually right outside my car... And they were not kept up well. And the hand sanitizer/soap in mine was empty. During this time, my friend arrived, who also had to use the bathroom haha. When we finally return to the tennis courts, we actually didn't end up playing because he observed so many noticeable cracks and the sagging nets. We didn't think we would get a good game in, so we actually left. This park seems great for locals within walking distance and for their massive fields and just getting a nice stroll in. But I wouldn't come here for tennis. And make sure you use the bathroom before you go!

Located blocks away from the local Safeway grocery store, this local neighborhood park is a great place. We came here one weekend with our family and there is plenty of parking here. There is a large field where we saw teams playing sports outside. There is a long trail for those who like to ride their bikes and or jogging. If you walk through the paved trail, you will come to a fairly large playground. Actually, there are two playgrounds that are walking distance from each other. Literally a minute walk away from each other. One seems to be an older playground and it appears the other playground is more renovated. They have tons of options for younger and older children to play. A list of activities within the playground are swings, slides, rope climbing, fire trucks, motorcycles, swinging seats and electronic sound boards for children to press on. Please note that as of May 2022, it appears the electronic sound board with buttons is out of battery. So you wont hear any sounds from it. There are tons of trees in this park so you can find some relief for those hot sunny days. There are benches throughout the park so you can take a seat and people watch. There are multiple parking lots here so there will be plenty of parking. On days where there are social / sports events, parking might get filled up faster. However, we did not have any trouble finding parking. If you are in need of a park with lots of things to do, this place is a good option. It's not big like the Wheaton Region Park, but its a nice playground area. Nice trails and plenty of grassy areas to sit and relax. Good spot for yoga too if you need a nice and calm place to practice.
