FAIRLAND RECREATIONAL PARK
Fairland, MD
FAIRLAND RECREATIONAL PARK
Straddling Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, Fairland Recreational Park is the only bi-county park of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. Of the 322 acres on Montgomery County side, only 39 acres are developed with athletic fields and courts. The remaining parkland is preserved in its natural state. On the Prince George’s County side the park is home to the Fairland Sports and Aquatic Complex.
Fairland Recreation Park has 10+ miles of fast, flowy mutli-use natural surface trails as well as several miles of paved paths.
There are two distinct access points to the park: the parking lot off Greencastle Road which also has bathroom facilities or take the gravel road from the back cover of the parking to the paved trail where you'll find the single-track trailhead on left.

Raked leaves off the The Loop and South Loop connecting the 2 end points
Written by Matt on 11/5/2022
Features are worn and need a refresh.
Raking leaves for 2 hours and some riding
Written by Matt on 11/5/2022
Most of the leaves are clear on the loop. Most of the berms and jumps need rebuilding as they are worn down.
Packs a punch

If you're within riding distance, you're gonna love this place. I'll never forget hearing some slow old guys talk about how the place is too small too get a good ride in as they walked their bikes up a hill, so if you don't like looking on the bright side this place might not be for you. But otherwise, the great sessionable jumpline, the fact you'll always meet friendly fellow riders (hikers too), and the great loops and skill building opportunities make this place a gem even if it isn't a distant destination like some. Ride on!
