Park was great even during COVID times. People were all wearing masks and there are many posted signs to promote compliance. The park is clean and there are still birds to feed if you want to take your kids!

Rarely do I post a 5-star rating. This place more than deserves it. The Pond, as it has come to be known offers the following... Ice skating, sport fishing pond, walking path, bikepath, picnic area, BBQ area, various sporting areas, a staging area to put on shows and much much more. I employ you please treat yourself to a visit with your family. Social distancing is much easier here because the Pond is so vast you can separate your family from others.

Despite the enormous amount of people there, everyone has having a great time. The kids all were playing together, the playscapes are wheelchair accessible and there is plenty of shade! My only wish? At least a portable bathroom back by the 5 and under playground.Next time I want to use the paddle boats and actually stay for the outdoor concert!

I have never lived by a park this nice before. you can tell that they have a great community at the park! theres tons of picnic tables and two separate playgrounds; one for the younger kids and one for the older kids. This has a really big pond with a trail going around it. They even have soccer fields and a gazebo! I actually took my maternity pictures at the gazebo and they turned out beautifully. This is definitely a family friendly park. I especially love it when they have events here! Because this is such a great community area, parking can get pretty crazy. If you ever want to attend an event here I recommend either taking a ride sharing car or getting there early because it can get crowded quickly.

A very beautiful place to relax and cookout. The pond is my main love here so will visit often for that alone. It can get over crowded so first come, first serve or just take a stroll. You can enjoy yourself here or be with others.

Plenty of spots to setup a picnic by the water or away from the water and in shade.Pond is in need of help, very little aquatic vegetation. I suspect the water fountains in the pond are to oxygenated the water. The pond had plenty of vegetation back in the 80s, lots of lily pads, water was relatively clear, plenty of largemouth bass, blue gills and crappie. Not the case anymore.

Wonderful park! You can fish in the pond, ice skate in the ice arena year round, and for your children, there are multiple playgrounds with interesting contraptions and themes. Very family friendly, so a picnic will be marvelous here, there is something for everyone! Overall a very good place to chill, play, or even go on a date. Highly recommended!

Nice suburban park with a small lake, walking trails, picnic area and playground for kids. I came on a cold Sunday afternoon and there were a good number of people walking around. I imagine it gets very busy in the spring. A nice spot if you are in the area!

This park is excellent. I could list unlimited compliments about this park. I highly recommend this place for trout fishing. Prince Georges county is really doing something right with the design and maintenance of their parks. Montgomery County should be ashamed that they do not have a park like this one.

Review №92

We only experienced a small part of the park but I was pleased with my first time here. There were lots of cookouts going on in the various picnic areas. There was a diverse group of people in the park which I thought was great. The playground is decent size. Its big enough to give the kids room to roam but not so big that you feel like you have to follow your kids all around. Lots of shady areas for us grandparents to sit while the kids play. We plan to try the paddle boats on our next visit.

Review №93

Nice park. Great place to relax and fish. The park is very well maintained, and the people that you’ll meet are nice to sit and talk with. There’s a nice paved trail that you can walk, jog, or bike around pond and access different fishing spots. There are nice facilities, clean bathrooms, nice playgrounds, paddle boat rentals, & sports fields at the other end of the park. Great place to spend the afternoon with friends & family, or stop and relax.
