Rockville

Other than shopping and eating there isn't much to do in Rockville for a night owl.

One can always stay up late and cycle down the empty major throughfares that are so busy during the day.

In terms of outdoors recreations there are many little parks hidden inside neighborhoods and bike trails. There is the Rockville Millennium Trail, which is smoothly paved and very user friendly, spanning the City of Rockville in a 10-mile loop. There is Dogwood Park, located off of Wooton Parkway, offering tennis courts, baseball fields and other recreational facilities. There is also the downtown Rockville area, very recently developed, featured shops and restaurants and some cute little fountains where you can sit and people watch. Very upscale, not very adventurous if you're looking to do more than eat and drink. Cabin John Regional Park is located on Tuckerman Lane. It is a very large park consisting of numerous jungle jim's, slides, swings, picnic areas, and a train that takes you around the Park. It has baseball and softball fields, and other sports facilities to keep active.
