Wheaton Regional Park

The 536-acre park contains multiple recreation areas, including athletic fields, tennis courts, an ice arena, and extensive hiking trails through forested sections.

Established in 1960, the park incorporated multiple land parcels and features the Harper Family Log House, a restored 1870s cabin moved here in 1976.

The Brookside Gardens section spans 50 acres with botanical displays, nature center programs, and seasonal butterfly exhibitions that highlight local flora and fauna.

Montgomery Parks maintains the facilities, which remain open from sunrise to sunset, offering eight reservable picnic shelters that accommodate 40 people each.

The park features a 1915 carousel from the National Mall and operates a miniature train, replicating an 1863 C.P. Huntington engine through woodland paths.
