Cherry Hill Park
Quick Facts
Why College Park & Washington, DC
College Park is home to the University of Maryland and its 41,000-plus students, along with genuine local landmarks like the College Park Aviation Museum, sitting on the oldest continuously operating airfield in the world. Just four miles from Washington, DC, the area offers big-city access without staying in the city itself — Lake Artemesia’s trails and the campus’s own green spaces add a quieter counterbalance.
Cherry Hill Park leans fully into that DC proximity, with Metro access right from the property — a genuine rarity that lets guests spend a full day at the monuments and museums without needing a car.
