    Pond
    Grace J.

    Great park that is good for ALL the functions. Cookouts, family gatherings, picnics, quiet time, children play dates, walks with friends, sports practice, etc., this is an amazing family-friendly location. I met up with a group of friends and walked the paved trail for a mini-cardio session. They even have a little water attraction if you want more of a leg workout, or to just take advantage of the beautiful pond. I will definitely be back again!

    Great place to relax, take walks, have picnics, meet new neighbors, engage in events such as National Night Out and several festivals.

    This is one of my favorite spots to walk and relax in. It's very picturesque and serene.

    Glad I finally made it to this park! I wanted to switch up my usual walking/jogging spots and this was a nice change of scenery. I suggested this place to a friend who lives like 10 minutes away and he himself had never been. Now he will be coming alot more! Thanks to me. I got here around 9 on a Saturday morning and it was already packed! Not like no where to move but more than I expected. I believe there was a breast cancer walk going on. Some folks were also setting up for a picnic. Others were just exercising like me! During the summer months, they have boating options. It's very picturesque with plenty of parking. Although it's not around the corner for me, it's still worth it! I would absolutely come back!

    Nice hidden gem behind the Bowie Town Center. I wish I would have known about this park, when I was a student at Bowie State University. I have seen students relaxed working on laptops at the nice shady spots at the benches near the pond. The pond is man made, but it is nice with water fountains. There is a playground and a concert sage for festivals which is an added bonus. I like how the park has smooth pavement and not gravel for walking. This is excellent for walking, jogging, running, biking, you name the park path is a large circle where a bit of the park is out in the open and other parts of the park has excellent tree coverage. This makes the park more bearable in summer and other hot/warmer months with ample tree coverage than the open parks that don't provide coverage. The trees are beautiful and is picturesque. There is a boathouse and pier with the option seasonally to rent the cartoon boats such as the swan boats which provides the park with a nice waterfront bonus. The park is great for picnics, cookouts, water activities, exercise you name it and is a hidden gem in Bowie.

    This place is an outdoor, fresh air haven in Bowie. There are so many perfect areas to sit qnd enjoy the lake view. Parking is easy and there are plenty of available free spots. There are many playgrounds, benches, picnic tables, and Instagram worthy photo spots. Each area is clearly labeled and easy to locate, so if your group is having a party, you can easily communicate where in the park you are. There is a walking path around the entire park. Lots of visitors were walking their side dogs. The pond in the middle has several simple water fountains. This place is great for people watching. There is a small stage for local community events and movie nights. We will definitely be back again!

    This park is my absolute favorite! There are not many like it in Prince George's County Maryland. There is so much to see and do including: a ice rink, skateboard, several ball fields, bbq rental spaces, a pond that many people walk around for exercise, a toddler and big playground, stage & events (including fireworks), outdoor exercise stations, and a big pond with ducks and some even go fishing. This is a clean place where you can enjoy sitting by the pond alone or enjoy with family. I love this park because there is so much to do and see. I really WISH that there were more parks in PG County that were designed like this one. There is something to do for everyone.

    Beautiful park
