| The park's progress |
It has been over a year since they closed Caroline Freeland park in downtown Bethesda, MD for renovation. The park still isn't open, but progress has been made. The new lights are in and tables with umbrellas are sitting on a new concrete pad for example. but there is a lot more to do.
 |
| Park and Road |
The park sits at 7200 Arlington Road between the library and the Giant Food store. It has long been a popular place to take kids to play or to eat lunch. Despite how it looks in the photo, Arlington Rd is quite busy (except early on Sunday mornings apparently). The sidewalk used to be right next to the road, now there is a grass strip separating the two.

| Repainted Sculpture |
The round sculpturey thing of people walking in a circle was designed by George Greenamyer and was installed in 1989. It remains and has gotten a fresh coat of paint.
 |
| Playground |
The playground has been enlarged and has more, larger playground equipment. It looks much the same as when I last provided an update in February. The fences and benches are new since then.
 |
| Elm Street entrance |
The Elm Street entrance the park is a bit more open and has a bit more concrete than the old entrance.
 |
| Heavy equipment |
There is still a lot to do on the library side of the park with lots of bare ground and piles of dirt, sand, and gravel. According to the county, the park should be open this fall.
