GETTING TO THE BOWIE TOWN GREEN:
1) Take your best route to Route 193 (Greenbelt Road) in Greenbelt.
2) Follow Route 193 away from Greenbelt further out towards Bowie,
well past Goddard Space Center.
3) Turn Left onto Route 564 (Lanham Severn Road, which becomes
9th Street where the park is). You will be on Rte 564 for awhile.
On Route 564, cross Springfield (Hillmeade) Road. Go a few blocks;
cross Church Lane. Pass Weed St on left, then Brady Ave on right.
STAY ON ROUTE 554, now called 9th Street;
do NOT bear right onto 10th Street.
Pass a small sunny park on the right that has a small vintage cannon
on it. Pass Park Road on the right and Park Avenue on the left.
4) Prepare to look for parking on Chapel Avenue or Railroad Avenue
on the right, both just a few feet before the Town Green, or along
Chestnut Avenue on the left just a few feet after the Town Green.
Follow the curve of Rte 564.
5) Cross Maple Avenue and start looking for the Town Green on the
left -- big blue bird sculpture painted blue -- and for parking
just past a pedestrian crosswalk by Chapel Avenue on the left
and then Railroad Avenue on the right.
6) YOU CAN PARK in the bank's & other parking lot across from the
Town Green (Railroad Avenue on the right), or on the residential
streets that flank the Green -- Chapel Avenue or Chestnut Avenue on
the left off Rte 564; 8th Avenue 1 block to the left of & parallel
to 9th Street (behind the Green).
READ ANY SIGNS RELATING TO PARKING STRICTURES where you choose
to park.
NOTES:
The Bowie Town Green park is small and shady, and has a large bird
sculpture that is painted blue, and the bird is wearing a suit.
IMMEDIATELY LOOK FOR PARKING as you approach the bird.
If you go over a bridge that spans railroad tracks, you have
just passed the Town Green park. Turn around, look for the
park (now on the right), and look for parking.
