Don't miss the Glover Park Farmers' Market - a great resource to have walking distance from our homes. Saturdays 9:00-1:00 across from the Safeway at Hardy Middle School parking area (officially 1819 35th Street entrance on other side).  Fruits and vegetables from local farms, organic produce, fresh baked goods, pickled and fermented products, jams,​​ Central American coffee, farm fresh eggs and more. Plus, enjoy music and varied kid-friendly activities. Come meet the farmers and producers themselves!

Tired of the bus? Feet hurt? No car? Just want to explore? Glover Park has two locations where anyone can pick up a Capital Bike Share bicycle: the baseball field at Calvert St and 39th Street, and Calvert Street at Observatory Circle by the Guy Mason parking lot. These bikes are popular, so check the station map link below before you head out - this updates the availability of bikes in real time (I think).  You can rent for 24 hours, 3 days or 30 days, and the kiosk takes credit cards.

P.S. Don't forget your helmet
