Fairwood Community Park — Attraction in Maryland

This is a decent size park considering it's location slightly directly off the road and next to the Safeway and a Kaiser Permanente. I've been here multiple times for a variety of reasons. I've attended special events around Easter season, birthday parties, picnics, and/or to just enjoy the playground with the kids.

They have two playgrounds: one for smaller children, and then one for the bigger kids. There's a lot of open space and two huge soccer fields. They have plenty of sidewalk for folks who want to get their steps in for the day, get a nice run, or even ride their bikes. Kids ride their scooters, there's general fields for folks who want to have a picnic or just relax on the grass and read a book/meditate.

There seems to be a stage area for performances during special events and the grounds are nicely maintained.

Finally, there's two decent size pavilions with benches/seats and tables but you'll need a permit/reservation for the soccer fields and the pavilions if you intend to use them for a large group of people. There's a bunch of trash/recycle receptacles and a good amount of greenery.

One of the pavilions has bathrooms and then there's "porta-potties" in-between the soccer fields. I definitely like this park but it's even more enjoyable when the sun isn't scorching. Check it out some time if you haven't already and let me know...
