Merrimac Park
6414 Winston Dr, Bethesda, MD. Off River Rd.(map)
This neighborhood park has a playground, tennis courts, and a basketball court.
The heavily shaded playground is moderately sized. It has only 2 swings and also has three slides, A small, bumpy one, a coverd one and a spiral one, It also has a pretty neat climbing structure that looks like a ladder that curves on it's side as it goes up. It is cushioned with a thick layer of mulch. Both tennis courts were being used when I went there so that seems popular. There is also a basketball court and a field. There are lots of trees in the park, but the field, tennis courts, and basketball court get lots of sun.
