Meadowbrook Local Park is a Montgomery Parks site in Chevy Chase, Maryland, set on about 16.6 acres just south of East-West Highway and next to Rock Creek Park. The grounds include a large playground, several softball fields, a lighted baseball field, lighted tennis and basketball courts, soccer and football fields, and covered picnic tables with grills. A Park Activity Building and a picnic area can be rented, and indoor restrooms are available. The park is also near the Meadowbrook Riding Stables. Some courts are being converted for pickleball in a renovation project, so visitors should watch for posted signage during construction.
