Springfield Park is rapidly being constructed at the new Westbard Square development in Bethesda. The park is largely shaping up as a playground, though, with a variety of equipment aimed at younger children. It is located essentially where a parking lot once sat in front of the Kenwood Place condominiums, between Westbard Circle and the fence behind homes on Ridgefield Road. There was previously a bank ATM structure on this lot, and Westbard Citgo made use of many of the parking spaces over the decades. The houses on the other side of the fence were built on land that the 1982 Westbard sector plan had designated for a park.

Another fertile ground for muggings,
Like almost everything else about this development this depressing playground is a total fail: Miserable traffic flow and lack of security in parking garage; plastic “green space” that’s an insult to the community; unburied utility lines; recurring blackouts caused by crappy work (sidewalk excavation); these developers SUCK !
