How to Get There
The Riverdale Park Farmer's Market is held in our Historic Town Center, right next to the Riverdale Train Station (on the MARC Camden Line). This is at the corner of Queensbury Rd. & Rhode Island Ave., and is just three blocks from the intersection of Route 1 (Baltimore Ave.) & MD-410 (East-West Highway). There is free parking in the parking lots on both sides of the railroad tracks.
Riverdale Park is inside the Beltway on U.S. 1, a short drive from Washington DC (to the south) and the University of Maryland - College Park campus (just to the north). It is surrounded by the neighboring communities of Hyattsville, University Park, College Park, Edmonston and Bladensburg.
The market is served by the F4 Metro bus, and "The Bus" route 14. It is one mile from both Prince George's Plaza and College Park Metro stops on Metro's Green Line.
