Really really cool place. We've done our annual Department picnic here three out of the last four years, everyone has been fantastic. The rental rates for Pavilions are totally reasonable, the entry fee is minimal, and it's just a beautiful park with nice amenities. Plenty of places for the kids to play, things for them to learn, lots of hiking lots of nature. Highly recommend.
We had a blast check out the Tire Park (I love that it has so much shade coverage!) and playground (the last time I was here 2ish yrs ago, the playground was still under construction). We didn't get to explore the nature center today, but had a great time exploring nature and playing with our friends.
Beautiful area, lots of big, beautiful trees and insect life, birds, and other wildlife. Has a great playground and lots of great hiking trails, plus there are bathrooms near the playground. We'll definitely be going again - and camping in the future! :)
Small park with well maintained trails and nature center. We utilized a nice orienteering course laid out with most of the posts located close to the trails and designed for new to the sport oriented. Nice time!
Very clean park. Great tire playground for the kids. I sometimes park in this area of the Patapsco to hike the Santee, Pigs Run and Forest Glen trails. Excellent trail system to hike from here to the Avalon area at the Swinging Bridge.
