About Battery Lane Park

Run by Montgomery Parks, this compact urban park covers about two acres. Visitors can use an accessible playground, a basketball court, a tennis court, and accessible exercise stations, and there are picnic tables, a water fountain, and open grassy space. The Bethesda Trolley Trail runs through the park, and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission acquired the land in 1978.
