Falls Road Park, County park in Potomac, Montgomery County, United States

Falls Road Park is a 20-acre county park in Potomac acquired by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission in 1986. It holds multi-purpose fields for soccer, baseball, softball, football, picnics and small fairs, plus Hadley's Park, a playground with a pirate ship, frontier village and castle play sets on a rubber surface.

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission acquired the 20-acre site in 1986. In October 1996, Potomac resident Shelley Kramm founded Hadley's Park Inc. after finding existing playgrounds inaccessible for her wheelchair-using daughter Hadley. Construction of the accessible playground began in September 1998, and it opened in 1999 as Maryland's first disabled-accessible playground.

Shelley Kramm, a Potomac resident, founded Hadley's Park Inc. in October 1996 after finding playgrounds with gravel and woodchip surfaces unusable for her wheelchair-using daughter Hadley. The nonprofit raised over $1 million, partly by selling personalized bricks that still line the park walkways, and construction began in September 1998.

The rubber play surface covers 34,000 square feet and stays soft enough for wheelchairs and walkers, but it heats up in summer sun, so visit in the morning or evening during hot spells. The surface was replaced in 2009 with interlocking squares, and part of the castle play set gave way to a larger picnic area. Personalized bricks sold as a fundraiser line the walkways.

The rubber surface at Hadley's Park covers 34,000 square feet, one of the largest pour-in-place playground surfaces in the world. Two porous layers sit over a drainage system, so water flows beneath the play area. The surface stays soft enough to cushion a fall but grows uncomfortably hot in summer.
