Battery Lane Urban Park — Attraction in Bethesda

In terms of the basketball court... the floor is messed up and is known to be always dusty. Another thing to mention is that one rim is higher than the other. There are also no lights to discourage teens from hanging out at the court doing whatever they want late at night. I should also mention that the taller rim is a little bit tilted. Regardless, people from high school to college to adults still come here to hoop. I will give a fair warning that if you do hoop at battery lane, expect a scratch or two after your games at this basketball court :D.

As for the tennis court, it seems to be always occupied, so i recommended timing it or sharing the court.

As for the playground, there are usually a lot of little kids with their parents. This could be good to keep your child in the company of the same age group or so. To add, the big trash bin and recycle bin is relatively close to the entrance of the playground.

As for the exercise station, it's still in good condition. The only thing I have to say is that it is next to some damp area, so the area is usually infested with mosquitoes. Not to mention, there's a big trash bin and recycling bin in here as well. If the trash stinks, the exercise station will also stink :D.

No, there are no restrooms!!! Someone get the county or something to install one.

You could potentially have a picnic at certain locations...

The park is in a great location, a short walk from a ton of apartment complexes and businesses within the Woodmont Triangle.

Unfortunately, this park is routinely over-run by gnats (a la Joba Chamberlain in the 2007 ALDS) because this park also happens to be in a valley between two apartment complexes where a ton of water drains.

Overall, it's okay and it is too convenient for me to go elsewhere but it is not exactly a tourist...

With a completely new and expanded playground, widened Trolley Trail path, new LED lights, new fitness station, and relandscaped grounds (which will include at least a dozen new trees to be planted), BLP is a newly refurbished neighborhood park in Montgomery County. Many thanks from Battery Lane District residents to the parks department for seeing this years-long project through...
