Very nice and convenient local park. Many picnic pavilions, each with a grill. Miniature railroad and dog park. Always a pleasant outing.

Park needs to be cleaned. Lots of dirt and mud on everything. It’s a pretty spacious park though and social distances can be maintained.

It was my first time seeing this park today. I walked a little bit on the trails. The trails are wide and paved. It is a nice park with lots of families since the park has a playground for children. I felt safe here with other people around having picnics at the picnic tables or walking around. I only saw a bit of Cabin John Regional Park, but I look forward to seeing more of it in the future. It is a nice break from city life.

Pretty nice trail. R/T 3.9, but actuallyat least 4 altogether. Very scenic.

My husband surprised us on family day today with a trip to this park. What a pleasant surprise! Our grade school and preschool children both had so much fun. It had many different playground structures so kids werent on top of each other. As we were studying the map we found out that there are walking trails, tennis, camping and so much more! We will definitely visit again as the weather warms up. The only negative things I can say are about the bathrooms and water fountains. The fountains werent on but they may not turn them on until warmer weather appears steadily. The bathrooms were very dirty as well. At least they had toilet paper but they need a good disinfecting. Overall we liked this place!

I came with my 2 kids 7 and 4 and we had a great time. Shaded area will alot of space to run around. Picnic tables and there is even a training area for dogs that seemed very popular and made me want to have a dog to take him there

Nice spot for a social distancing lunch during the week. There are covered pavilions with tables if its raining. Its packed on the weekend when the weather is nice and one needs to reserve.

Great place for an afternoon with kids. There is a huge playground and space for fun

Big playground area with plenty to keep toodlers and kids occupied. It has a good size parking lot. The playground is nicely shaded by tall trees. There are public restrooms, picnic tables, some benches. 4 stars because the playground equipment is very worn out.

Well maintained county park. It has several playgrounds, nature trails, and paved paths.

Very nice set it playgrounds. Handles a number of families while still socially distancing.

Nicely designed rest area for family and friends, lot of playgrounds for smaller kids and long walking trails

The train was closed but the website wasn’t updated! The playground was packed with kids but the ground were so muddy that you can’t walk as your whole feed can sink. The slides and all the play sets were very dirty and covered with mud. Vending machines dispense wrong items.

I love this park.Pretty well-kept!

Awesome afternoon and really, rather unexpected. Izzy needed to get out, mingle, meet & greet, you know, so we went to our first ever dog park. Wow! It was terrific! The dogs were great. The people were great. Granted we didnt go in all the way, one fence kept the barrage at bay, but we got the gist and Izzy and I will be back soon! Happy Thanksgiving!

This place is nice, We had a really greatime time with my family

Now its a peaceful place where you can make a barbecue. Children can run, play. Not crowded

Great outdoor place for pictice with large vovered shelters. Has portapotties

Wide variety of playsets for all children. Almost everyone masked.

Great playground for kids ages 2-8. It has about 8-10 playground areas, some more appropriate for younger kids and some for older kids. There is a bathroom area right next to the playground and a train that has seasonal sightings (it was not running as we went on a holiday), but we could see some of the Halloween-themed things they set up for the kids to find. Great place to spend a few hours with the kids.

Cabin John Regional Park is a fantastic, well-maintained park for the whole family. There are picnic areas, a walking/biking trail, and a very large playground area. I used to bring my four kids here when they were young, and, now, 20+ years later, Im visiting here again with my daughter and her kids. The playground area has been expanded, there are more areas for play, and the equipment is more colorful. Happily, the trash-eating pig (kids trash receptacle) is still there. Maybe the greatest testament to this Park is my granddaughters comment, This Playground is AWESOME!!

Great place to take a quick walk (2mi loop) or explore farther.

Best Park! Something for every age and has a huge variety of structures. The train is excellent for little ones especially on holidays.

Been going to this park since I was a child, with my grandparents. I took my children here, and now my grandchildren. We all love it! We call it The Piggy Park after the old talking pig by the trash can next to the train station. Oh! And the train! What can I say? Cabin John is the BEST, and my familys favorite, year round, year in, year out.

Clean, friendly huge park. Has picnic tables. Also has a train ride and a nice dog park (for small and large dogs).

Nice, people wearing mask and keep social distance

Great place for families! A large, spread out, shaded play area with many options for active kids is a big draw. Dogs on leashes are welcome. An open air train for children and adults runs roughly every hour in a 20- minute loop, complete with lots of toots. Tickets are about $2.50 each. A party room is available to rent for kids birthdays or other special events. The staff was super nice and helpful.

Great place to bring your children to play, or to ride the train (my nephews love to come ride the train here). I believe they also have a room you can rent for kids birthday parties. There are some nice outdoor picnic areas,, and trails to walk in. There is also a very nice dog park with two sections, one for small dogs and another for big dogs. Parking is free.

Beautiful space for kids and family. Also good for pets. It great for a picnic and spend time with family.

First, I used to go to Cabin John park as a kid. It was such a joy to take my son to the park, the trash eating pig is still there, the train ride and its only $2.50 per. Person. The park is so well maintained. You can even cook on a grill. I love this place.

A large wooded area with multiple playground areas. Many age groups are accommodated with age appropriate equipment. There is also a train that offers a relaxing ride through the wooded area. They do have a birthday room that can be reserved for small to medium parties. Areas are mostly clean, although some play equipment may be under repair or maintenance.

We go here manly for the dog park. I always wondered how these things work. I mean dogs can act...like dogs. But its all fenced in. Lots of fresh water, things to climb on, and doggy bags? The dogs love it and love seeing each other. Parents too. No strangers here. I wouldnt want to have to maintain this place and I do appreciate the parks efforts. Sometimes after it rains it takes a few days to get rid of the mudholes.

This is a fabulous park and it worked wonderfully for our Girl Scout bridging ceremony. The bridge to the dog park was perfect and the picnic tables around the area were perfect for our party.

Small park with playground, benches, and smooth, paved trails.

Not too crowded with trails accessible for strollers.

Nice scenery. Cool Train.

Great trails and dog park

I like taking my daughter (she is almost 3 years old) to this park because of all of the trees. The trees keeps the park shaded and cool on hot summer days. Also she love riding the little train in the park. The ride lasts between 15 and 20 minutes.

This is one of my most favorite parts in the region. It is one of the few parts where all playground equipment is shaded by trees all day long. The playground equipment has a wide range of ages, capable of entertaining the newly walking infant through older kids still not ready to give up tag. There are also plenty of places to sit and either enjoy a book, people watching, or a picnic. The unique attraction is the small gauge scenic train, available to ride for all ages in every half hour, when it is running. This feature is only shared with one other local park in Wheaton.

Tons of play areas perfect for my three year old. And if course he loved the train. I loved that its shady.

Very nice park

Fresh air, very nice

Cabin John is a great park with great trails. I have been going here since I was a kid. Really beautiful place.

Great park, with many structures for kids of all ages to enjoy. A lot of space for picnics, and access to washrooms. Great for warm sunny days as it is almost entirely shaded by trees.

I been here a few times the play ground area is nice because majority of it is under shade. The prices for the trains is cheap and affordable. They have many picnic areas. Also, if you want you can reserve a party room with the train rides. Park is up kept well and overall clean.

We love this park! All areas are well shaded and they have picnic tables scattered throughout the park. Huge variety of areas to play plus they have a steam train that you get tickets for during season. Bathrooms also a plus.

O truly love this park I take my two year old all the time.

The playground has lots of room to run and fairly good sightlines to the majority of the play equipment from anywhere in the playground. Lots of trees means you are out of the sun at any time of day. Kids love the train rides they have there.

Kids love this park. There are lots of slides, swings, climbing structures and space to roam. Great place to hang with the kids for a couple hours. Highly recommended!

Still a beautiful place. I was there when the park opened in 1967, and it just keeps getting better. All all the credit for the park upkeep goes to the Maryland National Capitol Park and Planning Commission! Kudos to you guys and gals at MNCPPC! I just wish the Miniature Train would operate every day of the week, as it once used to. And its time to use the New Engine that you purchased 2 1/2 years ago, instead of leaving it stuffed and mounted at the back of the station. The new Engine will pair nicely with the 5 new Coaches that you just started using this year.

Gorgeous all year round

This is an amazing park with a great ride on train (must pay for train). There are so many different types of playgrounds you could want.

This is a great local Regional Park that is easy to get to and has great activities like the miniature train, dog park, large playgrounds with equipment for all ages, picnic areas and various nature trails.

We love this place! We take our pups here about twice a week. Sometimes you get that one overprotective dog parent that freaks out when the dogs there act like dogs.

Fun times at the baseball game! Lots of great options to hang out with friends, beers and snacks.

The playground is all shady and its so big! Thr big kids have more challenging play equipment while theres a large area sized for the littler kids. Easy parking, lots of places to sit, and good restrooms.

This park has a GREAT playground with multiple structures for kids off all ages. Also, the Cabin John Train is located on site and theres a dog park which is great for kids who love animals.

Great park! Great for kids. Great for dogs! The train is fun. Ice Cream man comes by. Its awesome.

Friends got together and had a blast. Very nice park

Fantastic park for all ages. Lots to do and pretty good sight line for all the different parts. Bathrooms open in the summer and ample parking

Cabin John offers many activities for kids and adults. When you drive over to spend time with family or friends you can enjoy a ice cream with a nature ride through the cabin john forest.

Great park for everyone!

My child never runs out of things to do at this playground. There are many different climbing and sliding options, as well as at least 3 different spaces for toddlers and younger children to play. The train is waaaaay better than the rinky-dink ones you see at malls in the area. It is big, on real tracks, looks like a real steam engine, and only costs $2.50 per person. There are also walking trails for nature lovers, and real bathrooms (but NO changing tables). We will be returning regularly to this location. We had a wonderful time!

Shady, great for young kids. Could use some updating.

Nice place for toddlers to play. Quiet clean and beautiful.

We came for the huge great playground, but this would be an amazing place for a hike, very beautiful woods. Sitting here Im counting no less than 8 slides for the little ones, with various areas for various ages. Bathrooms on the playground with ADA access. Didnt get a chance to try the train ride(!) but it sounds cool. Good place to kill some time with kids and keep them active.

This is where I love to take my babies all the time. Good for me, can walk, jog, and relax and good for them can be themselves in playing.

Super shade covered mega playground. Fun for ages 2-10. Great historic family train ride for $2/ea person. Wonderful picnic areas.

Awesome playground and trail system! The train is fun and the trees offer shade on hot days.

I went fishing for bluegill I was not dissatisfied

The dog park is lovely and there were many dogs to play with. The park is large so we’ll definitely be back to explore more!

Nice place for a week-end run/family time, not very natural because of the beltway very near...

Lots of space for running kids and play with a real moving kid train

Great park...spacious and well maintained..train ride was awesome..a lot of tracks to walk..sheds to rent for parties...

Its by far the best.... they have all the best playground for the kids, and the best for the dog owners and thier canine companions, and there is a plethora of tracks for the runners or bikers... its one of thoes parks where one can enter from one street and end up on a different street miles away, so be wise where your heading and enjoy the friendly parks of cabin John has to offer with a smile

Great place for kids to play and spend energy! Just bring bug repelent and youre good to go.

Great park in a heavily wooded area. Tricky to find if it is your first time but Google maps will get you there. Train ride is just that, a train ride though the woods.Get the ticket booklet and youll save some money if you plan on visiting the park (or the Wheaton Train or Carrousel) several times during the year.Park is great on sunny dry weather, lots of shade and cooler. On humid days it can feel hotter.There are kid friendly slides and other things for kiddos to play with. Bring bug spray, a mosquito zapper, a blow torch or anything that can help you deal with those mosquitos, youll definitely need it.

Lots of shade. Lots of fun for the kids. Better signage needed.

Lots to do for kids of all ages. Also has a functional, real train for kids and adults.

Fantastic little train for toddlers! Highly recommend this neighborhood park.

We love it. Beautiful playground and more shade from trees!!! It is worth to go there.

Great place for kids to enjoy and have picnic. Kids enjoy train ride

Shaded clean play area with alot to do for all ages. And the cutest squirrels that came to picnic with us.The bathrooms and trash bins werent clean though and I would have liked a map of the area so that we could make full benefit of the visit.However a fantastic area to take the kids to.

Nice park lots of shade. Many options for kids to play and they have a train that rides around the park too.

We had a great time at this park when we used to live in the neighborhood. The playgrounds are nice and the scenery is beautiful. We loved watching the people do Qi Gong and Tai Chi too! The Halloween exhibit was a favorite of ours, as is the train ride. Choo choo!

Great playground. Very spread out so its never that crowded

Dog parks are a little secluded, otherwise great!

Wonderfully shady, fun for all ages, and they have a train!

Shaded playground with lots of play structures and space.

The toy train ride, plenty of open space and shelters with barbecue. Perfect haven for hanging out

Nice and clean park. Wonderful place for picnic.

I prefer unpaved trails...theres not many here.

Great tree filled park for playing on hot summer days

It is a pitty the train is closed until March... ️

This is one of our favorite local parks and for many reasons. There is ample space for kids of all ages to play and has many different activities - slides, swings, etc. for kids. Plus there is a train rides that my kids absolutely want every time we visit the park.There are plenty of picnic tables that you can setup your group at and also enjoy activities on the open areas nearby.There is plenty of shade around the park and it feels like you are away from it all when you get here.

This is one of the coolest parks ever, nice work Montgomery County!

Nice little park. Neat train ride. Several tiers of equipment on the playground.

Great park. Fun playgrounds. Lots of little children to do. Satisfies a wide range of childrens needs from 2 year old and up! Even like the peaceful hiking trails, dog park, train ride and grounds.

Awesome kids park.

The Halloween train ride was great for the little ones. The playground equipment is in great shape as well.
