It’s a cute little park that’s made for sitting not really playing at. The coolest thing is that it’s home to the original silver spring (no longer functional). Has some neat historical facts and a good place to sit under the unique acorn gazebo.

Acorn Urban Park is a tiny park in downtown Silver Spring with a big history. On this site is where Preston Blair, a newspaper editor, discovered a mica-flecked spring that inspired the name Silver Spring. The land was part of Blair's plantation. On it, he built an acorn gazebo in the middle of the 19t century in honor of where he proposed to his wife. The gazebo still stands in the park today.

Adorable, tiny urban green space with a splash of history (murals on the wall with small plaques about the historical Blair Maryland family, and the original source of the "silver spring" after which the surrounding city is named). Benches, historical acorn-shaped gazebo, no...
