Bohrer Park At Summit Hall Farm

This place is pretty fun with the kids. We made the mistake of coming during the weekend once and will never do so again. It was absolutely jammed packed which just made the entire day upsetting. Once we were fortunate enough to find a seat we had to defend our territory like a pack of wolves. We recently came back on a Monday and it was like night and day. We were even able to get a seat with pick-​nick tables and cover for shade. The facilities are very clean and the prices for food at their snack bar were reasonable. I read in some other comments that they felt the pool is understaffed with life guards but I’m going to respectfully disagree. The guards were very professional both in the stands and the three we saw patrolling the edge of the pool, one of them even made a rescue on the slide with absolute speed and professionalism.

This place was OK. But get there when it opens b/​c it’s a ZOO!!! People start lining up to get in at 10a for a 11a opening. I’m not sure I would EVER go here during the weekend again. While there are two places for larger and little kids, the little kids pool area wasn’t heated at all! So the water was freezing. After about an hour, there were more bigger kids that were over the 48″ height limit than little kids. There is a changing/​bathroom in the little kids area. Not to sound elitist, but I think I feel more safer and things being in control at the Germantown splash grounds than at this park.
A lot of people tend to come to this park and just camp out for the day. Seriously!!! They do do a «cooler/​bag check» before you get in (they don’t do this at Germantown). Maybe checking for weapons or alcohol? I dunno. I can’t see anyone spending more than an hour or so here. Lots of birthday parties going on too where people camp out and do cake and whatnot. Luckily, one of our friends lives in City of Gaithersburg, so they got us in at the $ 5.75/pp price not at the $ 12/​pp price. There was a huge line to get in, and only one person selling tickets on a Sat. that was slower than molasses.
There are also food and beverages available for sale here. I didn’t get a chance to see what kinds of food and what prices.

This place is a madhouse. It is overrun with camp kids and understaffed with lifeguards. It is EXTREMELYdangerous– I couldn’t believe how many kids they would allow in the pool!
It is NOT a safe place to bring little ones or any child that isn’t a strong swimmer.
The bathrooms were disgusting– the floor was covered in brown (hopefully mud?!) and the dispensers had no soap.

I guess flushing a toilet is not taught to the people who come to this park and cleaning them is not something the staff checks, seriously disgusting.

This place is kept clean which makes it all the more attractive to bring the family. It houses one of Gaithersburg’s rec centers, so there are classes available at a discounted rate for Gburg residents.
The building has several large gyms and side rooms for rent. A fitness center (decent size), and clean public bathrooms and changing rooms.
If you’re there to play miniature golf, you may end up sharing the course with a group who has rented out pavilions. Although there are rules for moving the folks thru the course, don’t expect someone enforcing those rules. This is a family location and there’s always someone with kids allowing their children to play on the greens who have not paid but are using the nearby pavilions. A good attitude to have is «children chasing the ball and stopping it from entering the cup just makes that hole more challenging.»
Swimming pool has some added plusses to keep it interesting but it will get crowded.

This review is mainly for the recreation center. I did not seriously explore the water park, the miniature golf course, the skate board park, the play ground, or the pavilion today. But I did go to my granddaughter’s volley ball games in one of the gyms. After sitting in the past through softball, soccer, and basketball games, with little parking, no shade, no convenient bathrooms, no seating, this place was like heaven. Plenty of parking. Clean facility with bathrooms. Two large gyms with bleachers. Climate controlled. There are also some meeting rooms in the center. After the volley ball games we did drive around a bit. There is an awesome pavilion area where there was a huge gathering of party-​goers today. Lots of nice walking areas and play grounds. A mansion that might be available for events. Certainly worth exploring a bit more next summer. And thankful for bleachers, rest rooms and parking. Boy, have my expectations dipped!

The water park is kept up really well with tons of life guards on staff. You can bring in coolers, snacks etc and they do check your bags.
I would suggest getting there early if you are looking to sit under a pavilion as the crowd tends to flock to those areas. Early as in before the park opens at 11am.

My daughter and I went there on a non-​holiday Saturday and there were so many people, there was literally not a square inch to sit or even lay a town down except on an area of dirt, yes dirt. They don’t do any crowd control, so the place is crazy packed with people … adults and kids alike screaming and yelling in the dry areas like civilization was gone with the apocalypse. Crazy crowded in the pool, no room to do anything except stand there, literally everyone standing shoulder-​to-​shoulder. We found TONS of hairballs and pierced earring stems at the bottom of the pool, stepping on them constantly, one breaking the skin of my daughter’s feet. They don’t limit the crowd … it’s strictly a money making machine … if you have money, they let you in. It’s the worst pool I have been to in my life and we’ll never go back! If there were Zero stars, that’s the rating I would have given!!!

Very nice play area for the kiddos. Open freshly cut grassy area for a blanket as i laid and watched the clouds. Ample parking and walking trails. Great area to spend hours. My boys even had a game of soccer going. It was awesome!

This is a multi-​purpose park. They have a little water park which is a pool with some slides. They have a miniature golf course. They also have a skate park which as a former skateboarder I found to be lacking in verticals, dude. There is a lot of green grass and a pond and some things they call pavilions. There are no ball fields. The place is a little hilly so to put a ball field would have required a lot of work.
We went there to a party put on by the Honduran embassy celebrating the Honduran Independence Day. The event was awesome. It’s a good place for a large event like this. There is plenty of parking. There are bathrooms which are necessary if you’re going to have an all-​day event. The grass is well manicured. They had some dudes walking around picking up trash which called my attention to the cleanliness of the place. I mean the place is spotless. It’s a well cared for area.

I absolutely love this place! The cost is very reasonable and its fun for everybody. A kids section and pavilions. And you have the option to bring food or buy it there. I googled water parks and decided to try this one out 3 years ago and we have been going every year since.

Wow! This place is awesome! Great for 2 year olds and up but EXTREMELY busy on the weekends and holidays. We are going to try the weekdays to see if that’s less crowded. The kiddie area had 4 lifeguards on duty and it was a pretty small area! Very clean and lots of fun things for the kids to play on.

Just a large pool with a couple of slides. Mostly tailored for kids to play and have fun.

We are taking our daughter to the baby bubbler classes and I think the pool looks great and the people doing the swim classes are very nice. I cant wait to go back and actually go for fun with my daughter.

I stumbled upon Bohrer park today and plan to go back soon! I’m new to the area and was looking for a shady place to walk with my dog. The park has several ponds/​watershed areas with loads of pond life. These are linked by paved paths. The paths are marked, so you can keep track of you distance if that’s important to you.
The park also has a bunch of shelter/​picnic areas, a rec center, water park, skate park, mini golf course, volleyball courts and a playground.
