Douglass E. Patterson Park Playground Closure – November 5 Through Mid-December
Please be advised that the playground at Douglass E. Patterson Park, located at 7001 Marianne Drive, Morningside, MD 20746, will be closed to the public beginning November 5, 2026, through mid-December for playground replacement and ADA improvements. The existing playground will be removed to make way for a new and improved play space. The first phase includes a Nature Exploration Area (NEA), developed in partnership with KABOOM! and Forbright Bank. Community volunteers ages 16 and older are invited to help build the NEA on November 19. To learn more or register, click here. Additional improvements, including a new traditional playground, walkways, and seating, are planned for 2027. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to enhance the park’s amenities for the community.
