621 Ellsworth Drive, Bethesda, MD. Right next to the Silver Spring Library on Colesville Road. If you are on Colesville Rd, you want to turn onto Woodside Parkway (on the right if you are going north, leaving Silver Spring, on the left if you are going south toward Silver Spring). Then take the first right onto Ellsworth Dr. (map)

This neighborhood park has a playground with lots of great wooden posts to climb on, a picnic area, and tennis courts.

If your kids are into climbing, this is a great park to go to, one whole area of the park is filled with 6 inch square posts sticking straight up to different heights, really fun to climb on. There are also a bunch of slides, swings, and some more traditional playground equipment. There are lots of small picnic tables and some of them have checker boards built in.
