There's really not much to it, but it's such a nice getaway if you want peace and quiet. I haven't seen more than 3 people at the park and any given time, and sometimes I am the only one! During a time where many people want to be outside of their houses but still avoid people, this park is definitely an answer to that. Just watch the Canadian geese poop on the loop, they're messy and reckless!!

Ball playing fields, we flew kites, and tennis/pickleball courts. Don't forget the miles of trails. We had our party under a pavillion with three picnic tables.

I rarely rate a park/trail/nature below five stars. It is Mother Nature so far be it from me to…read morerate it below five. However, this nature/walking/running/biking trail was man made. It follows the high tension electrical wires that run along, fittingly, Electric Avenue. Along the route are small parks, lakes, and a few nature trails. Most of the trail goes through the back yards are well-maintained homes and farms. The entire paved (bituminous...black because it contains bitumen or asphalt) portion of trail is approximately six miles between Glenn Dale Road and and Bowie. The trail used to be a state-of-the-art electric commuter train railway (the eponymous Washington, Baltimore, & Annapolis Railroad...from 1908-1935). Some tracks were incorporated into the trail past Race Track Road in Bowie. Today the trail is used by pedestrians, runners, and bicyclists to burn some calories. The hills are not too steep but will challenge you. The folks are friendly and the trail is well maintained. Would that there were more restrooms. In Glenn Dale there is a community center we're one may use indoor facilities. Parking is available at three major points: 1) Glenn Dale Road, 2) Glenn Dale Splash Park, and 3) Race Track Road. This is my favorite walking spot in Glenn Dale. Not too crowded but the bicyclist sometimes think they are riding in a Tour de France peloton. Some groups use the trail for group rides and on those days just watch out. There are many thrilling tunnels and wooden bridge crossings all of which are solid and sound structures the exact opposite of death traps. The trail is almost a straight line with much signage and many markers. It would be almost impossible to get lost. Wildlife is plentiful too. Birds of all stripes and feathers, even woodpeckers that you can hear jackhammering away on trees. Hares and turtles. Deer and foxes. Amphibians and small rodents. You know, things found in woodlands, forest, and marshlands. There are many horse farms and other farms along the route that account for the sounds of roosters crowing in the morning and the moo of cows. People with dogs usually are good about following leash laws. Overall just an eclectic mix of all manner of flora and fauna. Four stars due to the high tension lines that scare me because I always think one is going to fall or that the magnetic energy may be harmful to health. Great people, well-maintained trail surface, and Mother Nature in her stunning simplicity.

The B&A trail is a wonderful walking/running/biking trail that stretches, obviously, from Annapolis…read moreto Baltimore. I accessed the trail in Annapolis. It was a bit confusing as the Annapolis parking lot was probably a half mile away from the trail. It was easy for me to just ride my bike there but I would be hesitant to bring kids and have them ride on the shoulder of the road where cars were speeding by at 60 mph. Once on the trail, i seriously enjoyed every second of my ride. The trail was wide enough that it was not a problem to pass other exercisers. Everyone seemed to know to stay to the right and pass to the left. It was not overly hilly and the trail was well maintained with no cracks/ potholes. Every few miles there were cute little picnic tables near coffee shops and cafes where riders were meeting up for meals. I didn't stop as I was well fueled during my ride but I will plan to do that next time I ride.

This park has two enormous fields, where I see soccer played a lot. In between the two fields, there is a sheltered dining area, bathrooms, and a long row of benches that connect the front of loop trail to the back of the loop trail. This loop trail can be a little challenging because it's quite hilly, no matter which direction you go in. But I see several people walking or jogging it all the time, and I see why, it's worth it! I appreciate the fact that this park is open until 11 PM, so sun down doesn't necessarily mean it's time to go. And of course, the potential for Pokemon Go hunting is always there ;-)

I love how slides are short so it's safe for the little ones to go by themselves. Part of the playground is covered in wood chips and the other part is made of soft rubber mat.

After familiarizing with the place, she had to courage to go explore the playground. She had a blast there. We will definitely be including this in our list of playgrounds to continually visit.
