Parks

Section 3 has two parks within its borders. The town’s heart is the Gazebo Park at Shepherd, Fulton and Spring Streets -- a small vest-pocket park with, of course, a Gazebo!  The park has special hours for dog owners to meet and enjoy the park and rules that apply to dog owners.  Currently dogs are allowed in the park 7:00 - 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 - 6:30 p.m.  All other times, the park is open to everyone except dogs.

The second park is owned by the Chevy Chase United Methodist Church and is filled with wonderful play equipment used by the children at their pre-school. The park is open to residents to use after school hours. It is located at the corner of Delaware and Shepherd Streets.

Other neighborhood parks include one on Shepherd Street run by the County in Martin's Additions; Candy Cane City, a park with play equipment and  picnic tables in Rock Creek Park just off Beach Drive in Chevy Chase; and Norwood Park, just off Wisconsin Avenue, south of Bradley Lane where they have tennis courts, play areas and play equipment.
