This is a beautiful quiet park enjoyed my visit
This a historical Silver Spring site, which serves as a quiet place for the community to sit and catch some sun rays. I like the tranquility that this small park provides.
Pleasant small park kids playing in the little spring, that the park is know for. People walking their dogs. I sit and people watch as I smoke big weed. Everyone very relaxed.
You know this used to be a nice place to sit and talk but the residents from the apts next to the Acorn have made this their smoking and drinking spot. This is seven days a week, noon thru the evening and no police in site anytime. Not good for anyone but the party people.
Acorn Urban Park is a tiny park in downtown Silver Spring with a big history. On this site is where Preston Blair, a newspaper editor, discovered a mica-flecked spring that inspired the name Silver Spring. The land was part of Blair's plantation. On it, he built an acorn gazebo in the middle of the 19t century in honor of where he proposed to his wife. The gazebo still stands in the park today. There are murals along the park that depict the history of Silver Spring. There are a few benches to sit and enjoy the small park.
It’s a cute little park that’s made for sitting not really playing at. The coolest thing is that it’s home to the original silver spring (no longer functional). Has some neat historical facts and a good place to sit under the unique acorn gazebo.
It's a small urban park with rotonda and what's used to be a stream which gave the name of Silver Spring. Currently the park is going under renovation.
Right now (March 2021) park is a part of outside dining in MoCo - There are 6 or 7 dining tables along with heated tent open until 8 or 9 PM. Pretty good spot to enjoy your carry out or delivery especially with a good glass of wine.
