Was actually on my way to Centennial Park with my daughter today. However when we got there, we saw…read moreabout 4 busses, and a super crowded playground. I have beautiful toddler, and she has a crazy over protective father. So we tend to stay away from crowds, especially bigger kids. So I look on Yelp to see what else was near and I find Long Gate Park. We make the trip over which was maybe 10 minutes away, and when we get there i'm blown away. This place is nice! We park the car (the lot is huge, its actually a park and ride), and head down to the play area. This park is very well kept. No high grass, No trash, Nice equipment. The park has 2 play areas. The first one is huge, and takes up the majority of the play area, and is where most of the kids play. The other is smaller, and off to the side. Perfect for that over protective parent who feels the need to isolate, but all the kids there today looked to be 3 and under. So I let my daughter go where she pleased. There is a pavilion area near the playground with a grill, and a bathroom with water fountain on the opposite side of the grounds. Behind the bathroom are tennis courts, and also a trail to walk or bike. Therw are benches all around the play area, and most of them have canopies above. There is also wall climbing and a basketball court. The main play area has shade from overhead canopies throughout the equipment, and safety rails all over. The park sits on recycled rubber, so no dirt or annoying wood chips. There is also another area of the park that has a baseball field, more pavilions, and an athletic complex. Easily one of the better playgrounds in the area. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

A park good for all ages!…read more My son loves playgrounds, but he is only a year and a half. Because of this he can be limited to which playgrounds he can actually play on since he is so small. This park has different sections for different age groups. They are marked as so. Plenty of benches for the adults. They have swings. Even one where you can sit down in front of your small child and swing with them. Also, the whole playground is gated which is great to keep the children within bounds. They even have one of those book exchange boxes where you can leave books or take books as you please.

Easter flew past before i could tell you of our kid's outing to Clark's Elioak Farm (Apr 2026)…read more It's a place full of fun outdoor activities and critters on MD-108 Clarksville Pike, west of US-29 just past Centennial Lane. We took a three-year-old there for an outing in bright slightly-cool weather. Up until Easter, they had easter-egg hunts all day, separated each time into age-groups, smartly organized so that the kids trade in the eggs afterwards for a goodie-bag, so the competition for eggs wasnt too fierce. We took a train ride around the farm. And the newest pony was still getting used to the situation, so instead of riding, we joined in gentle grooming and pampering. A lovely fun morning! It's on a 7th-generation family-owned farm, and it's open Tuesday-Sunday and some Mondays, 11-5 or so. There's low-cost tickets for entry and for some of the activities, and there's lots of free parking. Their produce stand is open July-Sep. And after the olds reminisce about the restored decor that Clark's Elioak Farm rescued 20 years ago from good old Enchanted Forest, there's a nice (unrelated) wine bar and restaurant across the street :-)
