The beautifully restored Glenview Mansion has art exhibits, a recital room, and is rented for weddings. The F. Scott Fitzgerald Theater is home to Victorian Lyric Opera (Gilbert & Sullivan and more), Rockville Musical Theater, Rockville Concert Band, and much more. The spacious grounds have outdoor concerts and children's events in the summer. There's a playground, climbing wall, sculpture, and nature center. It's a neighborhood gem for people in or near Rockville, Maryland.Website: http://www.rockvillemd.gov/parks-facilities/civiccenter.htm
A couple of friends and me drove to this park on a Sunday evening.. there were hardly any people; it was so peaceful.. We did a bit of running around, a small hike (there are some tiny streams around), spotted a couple of deer and just chilled out.. The place makes for lovely snaps too!Do not forget to carry a frisbee or a ball.. there is ample space for any sport! And you have to load up on snacks, there aren't any food options available.
I came by for a conference meeting, but was really wowed by the atmosphere. The mansion was gorgeous and decorated in such lovely, historic way. I drove back the next day to show my mother and we found that a wedding was taking place out front. With the trees in bloom for springtime, what a lovely place to celebrate an outdoor event. The staff was quite friendly and hospitable to our group. I only wish I had more time to explore the inside of the mansion!
There is so much to do. With children you can begin at the playground, and then head to the nature center
It's very well maintained, beautiful grounds; easy free parking; sledding on the grounds when it snows in the winter. My brother and sister-in-law had their wedding reception there and it was charming!
