About Sligo Creek Park

Sligo Creek Stream Valley Park, managed by Montgomery Parks, follows the creek and hosts the Sligo Creek Trail. Smaller parks and amenities sit along the creek within the stream valley. Land for the park was gathered over several decades, starting in the 1930s. The park stretches from Takoma Park in the south to Wheaton Regional Park in the north. The creek itself is a tributary of the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River and is roughly 9.1 miles long.
