1 / 2University Park Wells Run Playground
📍 University Park, MD
Wells Run Playground offers two distinct sections: a big-kid zone with spider web, monkey bars, rope ladders, and multiple slides, and a toddler area with a rock wall, plastic reptiles to climb, and smaller slides. Suits ages 18 months and up.
Great playground. Large assortment of activities for kids of all ages. Big kid section has several good climbing options, spider web, monkey bars, rope ladders, 2 slides and a tube slide. Small kid section has 2 slides, small tube slide, rock wall, and big plastic reptiles to climb on. 4 regular swings, 2 toddler swings, and a tire swing. Rotating chairs and a play house. Everything is in great condition. Ground cover is thick wood mulch. Attached parking lot, picnic tables, and plenty of shade. Playground is adjacent to a soccer field and a small pavilion. A+.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Excellent for families with children ages 18 months through 10 years. The distinct age zones mean toddlers and school-age kids can both be challenged appropriately in the same visit. Non-residents must use Wells Pkwy West for parking — the eastern street is resident-only.

“Great play structures for 18 months+ in a big beautiful park. Wish the whole playground was fenced in. Everything is on the newer side.”

“Wells Pkwy WEST takes you to the parking lot for this playground. Non-residents cannot park on Wells Pkwy East, which is a dead end.”
