Watkins Regional Park | Upper Marlboro


301 Watkins Park Drive
Upper Marlboro, MD 20774
4 out of 5 swings

Watkins Regional Park is a huge park filled with activities including hiking trails, tennis courts,a baseball field, campgrounds and a playground. It also has a petting zoo, Nature Center, a carousel, a working miniature train and a mini-golf course. During the holidays, there is the drive-thru Festival of Lights. There are also family-fun events held throughout the year such as KinderFest and Craft Fairs. That's alot of action packed into one park!
 
What hinders the park a bit are the young, non-enthusiastic workers they hire and the deteriorating and somewhat dangerous playground flooring. While the mat-like material they used for the flooring is awesome and a great idea, there are gaping holes in some areas causing dangerous walking situations for toddlers.

Overall, Bray and I were very impressed so we gave it 4 out of 5 swings.
