Red Gate Park

About

RedGate Park is a wooded public park in suburban Rockville, Maryland, with over 131 acres of natural green space, situated between Maryland Route 28, parts of Rock Creek Regional Park, and Avery Road. It is administered by the Rockville, Maryland government as a public park and nature preserve.

The park began as a public golf course, called RedGate Golf Course, which was designed and built in 1974. It operated until 2018, when the city of Rockville decided to close the course after a $3.2 million estimation for necessary repairs compelled the management company, Billy Casper Golf, a golf course management company located in Reston, Virginia, to terminate its 10-year lease three years early, opening up the possibility for redevelopment or preservation.
