Meadowbrook Local Park — Attraction in Maryland

Please beware of strangers wandering into your private event to use restrooms!!!

Needless to say, this was incredibly stressful and annoying having to keep watch over who walked in and out the door....

If it's normally locked up, what audacity to be disrespectful of someones event.. they have porta-pottys for the rest of the park.. only other issue is everyone parks down in front/near the building, so some of your guests will...

Part of Rock Creek National Park, there are large athletic fields and one used by dog owners, a terrific children's playground "Candy Cane City" (fenced for toddlers), and public lit tennis courts.
