I do not. It is isolated, pedestrian unfriendly, and visually unappealing.

My favorite thing about the area around the Adelphi Road UMD/UMGC Purple Line station is the natural beauty of the dense forest/woods that are located just between University Park and the UMD campus. These woods, stream, etc. are a boon to the community - and a great place to walk, run, or just spend time in nature outdoors (however, the existing trail is in disrepair and needs improvements).
