This has to be one of the nicest dog parks near the Baltimore area. As with most (if not all) dog…read moreparks, your dog does have to be vaccinated and collared with identification. They have two parks designated for large dogs and one park for smaller dogs. I only went to the small dog area. They have clean grassy fields. There was no dog poop laying around. They also have trash cans and dog poop bags for public use. There is also a water fountain and water bowl for dogs, which has also been kept clean. There's plenty of parking in the surrounding area. The dogs in the larger dog area also seemed pretty friendly.

What a beautiful park on the outskirts of Baltimore m. I have always seen this from the highway,…read morebut I did not know it was an official park. It was definitely worth the detour. Not very well maintained due to covid. I couldn't find a staff member and I got off the highway to use the restroom. I ended up using a porta potty (a man has to do what a man has to do) the day was beautiful and the signs were non existent. I tried to read the descriptions of the park and different landmarks, but they were destroyed and missing.

Hillcrest Park is located next to the Lansdowne Library, down the street from Lansdowne High…read moreSchool. It has a small playground, bathroom facilities, a sheltered pavillion and is bordered by a large wooded area--"providing opportunities for youth to do things that they shouldn't," police have said in the past. Ultimately, a park should either emphasize play or nature, and this one barely succeeds at either. There is a lake with piers, and I did see a regular ; I wouldn't trust anything coming out of that lake either.

A cool little nature center in Leakin Park!…read more The staff is very friendly and helpful. You can come in and explore on your own, but they also have programs that work with summer camps and homeschool groups to have a more formal experience for kiddos. There are some animals to look at and appreciate, including a turtle (who loves playing with people who visit) and snake, and several birds in their outdoor aviary. They have free maps of the trails in the park, as well as some informational packets about various flora and fauna. También tienen folletos en español. The center room has a portrait of Carrie Murray, some couches, several taxidermized animals, and some books about nature. The bathroom is unisex, accommodating a urinal, 2 stalls, and a changing table. A great place to start your hike (or end, or just use as a break in the middle!) or just visit on your own!

The Baltimore Brew festival was held at this location. The views are amazing. They had so many Beer…read morevendors to choose from. They had general admission and they had VIP. We opted for the VIP. The VIP had an extra 90 minutes to enjoy the sampling. With a larger glass. Prior to general admission arriving. General admission glasses were a lot smaller. They had lot's of vendors and food trucks. The Bands were good. They had plenty of seating available. So there was no need to bring your own chairs. We stayed about three hours. I would love to come back and walk around the area because the views alone was so amazing. There is plenty of parking available nearby. Just know that there is a fee. Unless you can find street parking and just walk the distance. We did pay for parking. Which was pretty reasonable. Beautiful place definitely worth checking out. Overall 4.5 rating for the event. The park itself definitely deserves 5 stars.
