Woodside Urban Park (downtown Silver Spring)

This large, pretty, well-shaded playground, at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Spring Street, has three separate climbing structures -- each one with unique and interesting features -- plus a bunch of stand-alone favorites, including two pretend cars, an airplane bouncer, a climbing web, and several varieties of things that spin. Add in four baby swings, two regular swings, picnic tables, and wooden barriers for walking on, and you've got yourself a kids' paradise. This one will definitely go on my list of playgrounds to visit often.

Also in the park: tennis courts, basketball courts, a two-sided racquetball court, and a skate track.
