PARKNAME Park
9925 Harrogate Rd, Bethesda, MD. At the end of Harrogate Rd. (map)
This large neighborhood park has a playground, a picnic area, tennis courts, basketball courts, and ball fields.
The playground is pretty decent, with swings, four slides (one is double), a nice bit of climbing equipment and more. It is cushioned with a thick layer of mulch. The park also has a pavilion with picnic tables and a grill. The tennis courts and basketball court are open for everyone. The playing fields are generally used by sports leagues on weekends.
The pavilion is available for rental through the Facility Reservation Request Center. Typical of government sites, they don't make it easy.
