  Foxhill Park is a 45-acre park in Bowie, Maryland, operated by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. It is adjacent to the Belair Mansion.
  
  ## Woodward Pond
  
  The park includes Woodward Pond, a man-made pond, also referred to as Foxhill Lake. It is formed by the damming of an east–west flowing tributary of Collington Branch.
  
  ## Foxhill Park Bridge
  
  Foxhill Park Bridge is an historic bridge over Woodward Pond and is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C. The bridge is a five-span arch bridge made of concrete and faced with sandstone.
  
  Official historians believe the bridge most likely carried a private road or path to the Belair Mansion, the large estate which until 1958 contained the pond and the land that is now Foxhill Park. Architectural evidence suggests that the bridge was built circa 1920.
