Been around forever. The smallest library in the county. A true library for kids (and their parents). If you have small children; this should be on your radar.

Brookside Gardens is truly an impressive gem located within the Wheaton Regional Park. It is a beautiful and well-maintained place to simply enjoy the beauty of the flowers, trees, gazebos, ponds and water structures. The water structures were not on when we visited. A bonus is the temporary outdoor exhibit honoring those in Montgomery County who died of Covid-19. The walkway has one strand of crystals in memory of each life lost. Another memorial near one of the ponds honors those who lost their lives during the sniper spree in 2002. While we were there, we saw people using the gardens as a backdrop for their wedding and Quinceañera photos. A permit is required to take professional photos. There are two conservatories on the grounds as well as a visitor center/gift shop. There is also a butterfly garden (fee), children’s garden, and greenhouse. Although there seemed to be adequate parking spaces, there was a line of cars waiting for a parking spot. The gardens have both paved and un-paved trails and paths. Most visitors, and some of the trees, wore masks because of Covid restrictions in place. Plan a visit: you will be impressed and glad you did.

The Audubon Naturalist Society Woodend Sanctuary has managed to maintain a completely natural and exquistely private retreat near a busy commercialized area. You'll never know that you are so near stores and residential homes! Go for a walk at dusk and you'll see lots of animals! I love the peace and quiet there. The Woodend Mansion is a delightful site for weddings and other happy events.

There are lots of places to eat at the Rio and you can stroll and walk around the pond. They have specialty shops as well as name brand stores. They have it all.
6. The Shops at Wisconsin Place

High rollers and shopaholics will love this locale with Bloomingdales, Lord and Taylor, Neiman Marcus, Saks and well as Nordstrom Rack and Marshall’s all within a few blocks. Generally, if you can’t find it here, you don’t need it! Wish all the stores were under one roof so that you could avoid the elements on hot summer or cold winter days, but there’s lots of great coffee shops and bistros for a hot or cold beverage while you navigate the landscape. Metro is steps away or lots of free, validated parking by one of the stores also to make this venue attractive.

In winter it's not much. Wait until spring when the flowers are blooming, and the activities are on the rise. Be sure to check out the mansion and pick up a list from the theater for shows throughout the year.

It is one the most spectacular place in Maryland. An amazing place especially during autumn and spring where you can kayak, walk, run, bike or just listen the nature. Just go and you will be surprised that there is a heaven in the city
9. Rock Creek Regional Park

Reviewed By eethomp - Washington DC, United States
Rock Creek has paved hiker/biker trails that run from DC up to Rockville and around Lake Needwood. If you're looking for somewhere green to bike, walk, or run for exercise it's a good choice. The trail is a greenway and for the most part there are some trees between the trail and the roads. For hiking though, I'd recommend somewhere more scenic like Great Falls. Stay to the right if you're on foot to be sure the bicycles can pass easily.

A really nice park and lake in the middle of a densely populated suburban area. I love Lake Needwood and the surrounding area. Fishing is so-so, but the area is beautiful.
