Chestnut Ridge Park

Nice little park with 2 playgrounds (little kid and big kid size) and swings. Love that there are benches and picnic tables in the shade! Only issues is that it would be nice if it were fenced, considering the busy road it’s on.

I pass by this little park every day to and from work! Today, our daughter and I finally had the opportunity to stop and play! It's not fancy or big, but she had a good time and that's all the matters!

There's a big kid play area, a little kid play area (though my 2 year old enjoys the big kid area more), a sandbox, and swings. It's a nice big playground with lots of space and sits plenty far back from the road. It would be nice if it were fenced in, but you don't usually see that for big playgrounds like this.

Very small park, on an extremely busy, high speed road.

Towanda Playground

Parking is a beyond a nightmare for sporting events.  If you have to go here, bring your own chairs, umbrella,  and whatever else you need.   There are two bleachers for the entire football field and no shade.  Fights occurred in the field between games.  Watch your step on the concrete walkway outside the football field.  It was walked through when it was wet leaving 3 inch shoe depressions.  This makes it very easy to roll your ankle or fall.  Baltimore needs to do better for its youth sports.

I came to the Towanda playground football field for football game it's only like three bleaches out there are no facilities to relieve yourself but they have plenty of grass to feel was Mark you just have to stand and make sure you use your restroom before you come to the game they had concessions that were their concession stand and they had a ice cream trucks that kept coming through which was good people could buy yourself something to munch on what I'm watching the games

Terrible playground. Needs a lot of work. Its a playground pushed back off to the area of the community where if your not from that neighborhood, you wouldn't find it. Its as if no one cares about it anymore. Its very ran down. The grass has so so many patches of holes in it. The area where the kids are supposed to play is old and rusted. The basketball court needs work. The court itself needs ground work. And the goals needs replaced. Just my opinion, I wouldn't want my kids playing on it.

The remodeled rec center looks great and will serve many youth and young adults over year😊

A continuous commitment to provide a safe environment for the children. Baltimore Excellence.🙏🏾

Druid Park

Beautiful place to visit , so much to do besides the zoo .

Price is too high and not enough animals for the price you pay.

Buena Vista Park

Went there on a Thursday around noon.  Nobody there.  No dogs.  No basketball players.  It's a decent park.  6 basketball rims.  You could play one "full court" game on what looks like 10' rims.  The other 4 are shorter.  Could use a little clean up but not horrible.  The playground seems nice for smaller kids.

first time here, drove pasted it quite a few times without realizing it. I did enjoy myself on the court. seems nice and quite. only thing is there’s too many trash lying around. folks, the same way those bottles got there is the same way they should be removed. please clean after yourselves, not that hard.

This park is one of my favorites because it's usually empty when I go their. So my little chihuahus can run free & play fetch til they're worn out!! The playground is usually empty, too! So whether you wanna take your dog, children, grandchildren or play a little basketball this is the place to go!! Grass is always nice and cut by the city & there's a working old time water fountain that also works for the dogs!! It's flat also, so if you wanna grab a snack and a book, this is where I'd go for that also!! Quiet and mostly sunny! Has ALL your park needs except there's  no restrooms!! Other than that, it's a go-to place!

It's a nice part but they keep releasing their dogs without leashes there they definitely need a sign up saying please keep dog on leash

Great park, lots of grass and a great playground area.

Sands Road Park

I plan on visiting this park soon . There was a ferry crossing the river at this location from early 1700's to the 1850's (Mount Pleasant Ferry ) . I found an old map showing there was a store near the river , along the ferry road .

It's a small park but they play basketball there sometimes.  Very peaceful and quiet. Nowhere to sit outside of your car though.  Not many people usually. Great spot to pull over and reply to text messages, lol.

This under used park is an excellent birding spot. It's essentially a large field surrounded by woods. When the field has been mowed, it's fairly easy going, but it can be  a little demanding when the grass is high.  Boots and bug juice are helpful. There are a couple of basketball courts, but no other facilities.
I haven't spent much time here in the Winter months, but Spring, Summer and Fall can be rewarding. It's reliable for Meadowlarks, Chats, Sparrows, Harriers, Prairie Warblers, Indigo Buntings, Common Yellowthroats and Grosbeaks. Friends tell me they find many more species.
It's only a mile or so from Wooton's Landing, and I often combine visits to both places in a single outing.

I wanted to rate it a 1-star, so we could keep it to ourselves! But it was such a great find - really enjoyed the open space and big skies!

This used to be a nice place until the trash from the area started hanging out drinking amd doing drugs. If you decide to chance this park watch out for used needles and crackheads.

Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary

I never knew this park existed and it was within 15 minutes of me. It's great with the scenery, the trails, and I loved going on my Sierra Club hike/walk. I highly recommend for a naturegoer, nature enthusiast, and park lover!

Nice open, quiet area to walk or bike!! Or take the "driving tour" around the gravel roads on Sundays... nice for seniors who want to explore nature, but can't do much walking.

Perfect to go for a walk or to share moments with family or friends on the picnic area

The sanctuary has three walking trails, ranging in distance from 1.2 to 3.0 miles. But they also have astronomy observation evenings monthly (when open) and activities for kids. Great place for either the family, a field trip, or even a solo walk!

Nice, clean, the trail markers could have been better. We had to back track several times during our trek.

Plumpton Park Zoo

My 3yr grandson loves animals, so i decided to bring him here. It's much smaller than the MD zoo, however he was able to walk the entire zoo without needing to be picked up. All of the animals are rescues, so they don't appear to be in the best of health, but there were tons of caretakers and they all took great pride in caring fir them. We purchased some feed for the animals and he had a great time.

All the animals are friendly and often come near the gates.

They have specific animals to feed and times to feed their giraffe which only cost 5 dollars.

We spent 39 dollars through Local Flavor and spent around an hour and half there. It is a small zoo.

They have a cute gift shop and a snack area where you can purchase items.

Many of the animals here have been rescued which is so neat.

Definitely worth a trip.

Animals include:
Giraffe
Zebras
Camels
Porcupines
Lions
Black, grizzly and brown bears
Tigers
Pigs, chickens, horses, llamas, goatsand donkeys
Monkeys
Peacocks
Wallabies
And a few more

I've been here a couple times and really like this zoo. It's not the biggest, but you can tell the animals are very well cared for and the staff genuinely loves them. Today I saw a keeper talking sweet to the cougar (Nicole) and you could tell that this person genuinely loved her job.

I recommend getting a cup of animal feed at the entrance - there are so many to feed!

Disappointing. We chose this Zoo as an enjoyable activity for our young children to do with both sets of Grandparents, one of whom was visiting from overseas. It was a Thursday afternoon and unbeknownst to us, was during a time that they had decorated for halloween. Such a struggle to spend so much of our time trying to shield the children’s innocent eyes from the scary and creepy displays around the place! Our toddlers were confused and unsettled by the things they did see and that made my wife angry. We were there to enjoy the animals and time together as a family as this made it difficult. We were extremely disappointed!

We enjoyed our visit on a weekday. The animals seemed well taken care of and healthy. Very nice little zoo!The Sicilian donkey was my favorite.
