About Kemp Mill Urban Park

Kemp Mill Park dates to the 1960s and was admired at the time for its modern approach to design. It sits on a corner lot at Arcola Avenue and Lamberton Drive, covering a bit over 2.7 acres in the Kemp Mill area of Wheaton. Visitors will find a large water feature, a playground designed for accessibility, a combined basketball and soccer court, benches, a pedestrian bridge, bike racks, and several mature trees. The park is operated by Montgomery Parks.
