Explore University Hills Duck Pond Park (& Playground)!

Yes, it’s chilly, I know – but it’s supposed to be warming up this Friday so putting this post about University Hill’s Duck Pond Park (with 2 different playgrounds to explore) (and a duck pond!!) in Hyattsville on your what-should-we-do-with-the-kids radar!

University Hills Duck Pond Park

University Hills Duck Pond Park

A while back, we rode our bikes to explore University Hills Duck Pond Park in Hyattsville. We entered the park at 3400 Stanford Street and came across this fun playground area. Two playground sets; one for the toddler crew and another for the 5+ crowd.

It being a lovely day, we decided to ride our bikes along the path and explore a bit more of the area.

Boy, were we glad we did as we discovered TWO MORE PLAYGROUNDS in the same-ish park, again one for the toddler crew, another for the 5-12 year olds.

Lane Manor Community Park

Turns out this second playground is technically in Lane Manor Community Park. You learn something new everyday! 🙂
If you want to head to this second playground first and you’re driving, you’d do best to enter off of the entrance off of University Blvd East; there’s a parking lot adjacent to the playground.

For the first playground (University Hills), head down Wells Parkway. Parking lot next to playground, as well.

Duck Pond!

BONUS: There’s a duck pond at University Hills Park, too!! We love to check out the ducks so sharing in case this, too, might delight your day! 🙂

Tip: We’ve always visited during off-seasons, so recreation center facilities were not open for bathroom use. That said, port-a-potties were nearby. And in decent condition, insofar as those things go….

    […] Feed the Ducks, Run Around Playground at University Hills Duck Pond Park The title pretty much says it all. 😉 Pack a picnic, check out the duck pond and then have fun at 1 of the 3 playgrounds at this park! There’s one right at the entrance off of Wells Blvd but if you wander a bit on the bike path you’ll find there’s an even bigger one just down to the right with structures for the toddler and 5-12 crew. When: Sunrise to sunset… Where: 3400 Stanford St, Hyattsville Cost: Free! […]
