Rockville Civic Center Park

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.

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.

Lake Needwood

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.

Croydon Creek Nature Center

Reviewed By Svennicht - Rockville, United States

Out of Towners might not realize this Nature Center is tucked in behind the Glenview Mansion grounds. The "mini zoo" and displays are in a relaxing setting and are an excellent way for natives and weary tourist to unwind.

Meadowside Nature Center

Reviewed By EPJess - El Paso, United States

Meadowside is one of my kids’ favorite places to go! There are several hiking trails that are easy enough for children, a fun, themed outdoor play area, an indoor crawl-through cave, indoor play areas, and several species of animals to look at. Our favorites are the birds of prey that are cared for at Meadowside. We’ve been able to visit during feeding time and enrichment time several times now and the keepers do a great job explaining what they’re doing and engaging the audience. There’s so much to do here and it’s a beautiful spot to just take in nature.

I have been attending Mass here for many years occasionally. It is a beautiful modern church with traditional Mass. The congregation is friendly and diverse. Sermons are always good and not too long.
