This park doesn't even try to be accessible by walking, biking or transit. How sad to be a park filled with trails, only a mile from a metro station but not try to be accessible.

Over the past couple of years, trails have been constantly closed. I empathize with the weather / storm challenges, but the big problem is that they only communicate with drivers. On their website they'll say there are a couple detours, but when you get there, it's actually just closures, and there are a bunch of other closures they don't bother to report. All of these detours / closures are communicated in mile markers, which doesn't really tell you where the closures are, because mile markers don't appear on the maps you can find through Google. Also, good luck if you're on foot and an entrance is closed, because it's 3 extra miles of walking down fast-moving connector streets without sidewalks and crosswalks to get to some of the other entrances. They don't communicate about entrance closures. You can waste your whole day traveling up here, just to find out that most of the park is closed or unsafe to get to.

Speaking of "good luck"... It's always been hazardous to walk to this park, because coming from the metro you have to cross the intersection of MD-201 and Good Luck Road, which only has crosswalks on two sides of the intersection, neither of which connect to the park. You end up having to play the frog from Frogger, trying to hop across multiple lanes of speeding traffic headed for 495. Good luck indeed. I realize the roads are managed by local government, but has the park ever bothered asking if the city could paint a couple crosswalks and touch up the signal timing? They could have influence. But I don't think this park cares.

So yeah, if you come here, drive your biggest, most gas-guzzlingest SUV. Even though this is a park filled with trails for walking and biking, they act like only drivers come here. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I used to come here several times a year, but I'll be going elsewhere from now on.
