Swing into Spring

The City of College Park’s local parks and playgrounds offer both tranquility and adventure. The tapestry of green spaces and recreational havens in College Park beckons residents and visitors to unwind and reconnect with nature. From lush parks to vibrant playgrounds, the City offers an array of outdoor spaces that cater to every age, event, and interest. Whether you’re exploring the sprawling expanse of Paint Branch Park or enjoying the serene ambiance of Hollywood Gateway Park, nature’s oasis awaits you in College Park. But, it’s not all about swings and slides – College Park’s parks and playgrounds serve as hubs for community engagement and social connection. Look out for spaces with picnic and grilling areas, basketball courts and soccer fields, exercise lots and more! In recent years, College Park has embarked on an ambitious journey to revitalize community spaces. Since some parks within the City limits are maintained by the Maryland National Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), the City has collaborated with local partners to renovate playgrounds and park grounds. From well-maintained pathways to secure playground equipment, every effort is made to create a safe environment for all. For families and young adventurers, College Park’s playgrounds offer endless opportunities for exploration and play. Newly renovated playgrounds in Old Town, Calvert Road, Hollywood, Muskogee, Catawba Mews, and Davis Playground offer children of all ages a place for exploration and imagination. Colorful play structures and interactive features inspire children to play and learn. In addition to new playground equipment, there is also a new clubhouse coming to College Park Woods! This vibrant hub for recreation, socializing, and community engagement will provide indoor space for a variety of gatherings and events. Once completed, the clubhouse will feature two meeting rooms seperated by a noise-reducing, accordion-style divider that can open to combine the spaces.
