It wasn't so much a play ground as an area where TB kids could get fresh air while remaining under watchful eye of care takers. Much like the rooms on the roof of the child's complex. Fresh air was part of the treatment for TB back in the day. As for the decor, the symbols on the fencing are NOT universal throughout the hospital, so I don't believe there is any significant meaning.

Ugh! Imagine falling in it.

>.<

Motts,... that deep black hole... is either very dirty water or its black soil that does have steel pipes and other steel debris that is stuck in it.

Motts, you do have an artistic passion for taking thought provoking pictures of old buildings.

There has been Some Strange pheomenon Going on in the body silo recently.. blood curdling moans and strange wind like sounds have drove out of it but all in all do not check this out it is pungent with a smell like sulfur and it is hard to breath like something is choking you

me and 12 friends went there last night and got freaked out when we went in my boy brad and i were playin with the flash light and he shined the light in this room the flash light light bulb burnt out it was a brand new light we got it maybe 30mins before we got there it was intense a must go see

i went here last night with a few friends, unfortunately as we were walking towards the outside entrence to the basement, i thought i had heard footsteps in the woods, coming from all over, when we couldent get into the basement we had found an open window and then when we went over to it , all we here is POLICE GET ON THE GROUND 3 of my friends booked and were arrested when they tried to cross into legends manor, i was arrested by the smoke stack, all 4 of us were charged with breaking and entering, Tresspassing, and we have court sometime soon, the last time i had gone, we had walked into the creamatorium and it gave us all the chills, that place and the childerens ward are the only two scary parts of that hospital, the nurses station is actually pretty fun

Before you go on, please read this. This is a warning to anyone who wants to visit Glenn Dale. I went up there last night with a friend to see the place. We had no intention of going inside, although I have to admit that because I was so drawn to the place, I really wanted to see the interior. So we drove past the main building toward Electric Avenue to see if we could get a better view of the other buildings (children's ward? Not sure). It was hard to see much anyway, since it was dark. Before we turned around, we decided to stop in the parking lot on Electric Ave. and relieve ourselves. Not even a minute later, a cop car showed up and we're playing 20 questions with the officer. He had suspicion that we were trying to sneak into the building (which we were not) and ended up fining us $50 each for being in the park/parking lot after hours. He also told us that we were lucky he didn't catch us near the buildings. If he had, he said, he would have taken us to jail and it would have gone down as a criminal offense, not to mention we would be paying thousands in fines. These guys do NOT mess around. This area is heavily patrolled. There is a trailer on the left across from the main building, which is used by cops to watch the premisis. I saw three police cruisers parked outside. I also saw where they have motion sensors set up. If you decide to go, be careful. If I got slapped with a fine for stopping 2 minutes to take a leak, imagine what will happen if you actually get caught inside the hopsital! Needless to say, I was disappointed because I had planned to take another trip in the daytime so I could see it better. Now I'm afraid to go back up there. Nevertheless, Glenn Dale Hospital is a beautiful building. The first sight of the place took my breath away, mainly because it's so big. I think it's safe to say I've fallen in love with the place, and wish there was some way I could see more of it. Again, use caution if/when you go there. You're definately taking a risk.

I wonder if anyone has fallen in there. (Especially if all you got is a tiny flashlight in a pitch black basement) Is it a well or is it a service hole that goes down to the steam tunnels?

Shh! Don't say that name! Bad things happen.
