Tucked away on a quiet residential street, Quince Orchard Knolls Local Park is a local public park featuring a playground and soccer and baseball fields. A walking path through the woods wraps around the park.
Although the entrance is hidden inside Quince Orchard neighborhood, Aberdeen Park is a scenic and somewhat underutilized community resource. Since 1983 the 14.5 acre park has been a prime location for long strolls on lazy summer afternoons, sporting events as well as picnics. It features two playgrounds, tennis courts, a basketball court, and a volleyball court.
Established in 1973, this 11-acre park is easily accessible to the Travilah community. Partly enclosed by wooded areas, the park features a basketball court, tennis courts, a soccer field and a playground as well as an area for picnics. This quiet greenery offers community residents and guests a public space for sporting events, familial gatherings and walks – something much needed just outside the beltway.
The Skate Park, with 12 ramp/box structures, is designed for rollerbladers, skateboarders and BMX bikers. Hours vary depending on the season, so check the website for the latest. Equipment rentals are available for a fee. Admission is $3 for Gaithersburg residents and $5 for non-residents. Summer camps and special programs are available as well. The Skate Park is located in Bohrer Park next to the Gaithersburg Water Park, Activity Center and Mini-Golf course.
Bohrer Park has a little something for everyone. In addition to trails, fields, ponds, playgrounds, pavilions, volleyball nets and a horseshoe pit, the park includes the Gaithersburg Activity Center. The activity center features mini-golf, a skate park and a water park. This is a great place to bring the family or a large group for a party or a relaxing afternoon spent poolside.
Seneca Creek State Park offers a variety of trails for mountain biking and hiking, playgrounds and picnic areas for family time and scenic views of Clopper Lake. It extends for 14 miles, following Seneca Creek through Montgomery County to the Potomac River. The 90-acre lake offers fishing and boating, as well. Visitors can explore the area's history on a short self-guided tour, and there is a disc-golf course and hunting within the park.
Green Park is for the dogs. A secluded patch of grass tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, Green Park features walking paths, an extensive playground and swings. There are wide-open fields, a dog exercise area, basketball and tennis courts, and benches for just relaxing.
This quiet park features a garden, paths, benches and a gazebo. It sits on the former site of the Gaithersburg Public Library, which was destroyed by a fire. The site was formerly known as Lee Street Park.
