Very nice park. Hancock does a great job in maintaining and keeping everything clean.
This is a super nice park well cleaned well-manicured it does have a small Creek that runs through it so if you have Maryland fishing license you’re more than welcome to come and fish
Great park. Three different jungle gyms with 7 or 8 different slides. Two of the three big sets are fairly new with good equipment. My two-year-old tester was in heaven. Three different sets of swings, multiple covered picnic areas, big grassy well-kept fields, and a creek running along one side. I think there’s even public bathrooms, although we didn’t try them. Great place to stop for a picnic or just to let the rugrats run around for a bit.
I love the creek here! It has my great Uncle featured in the memorial banners.
Got some photos!
Nice playground with plenty of options of different equipment for multiple ages. Pretty little stream you can go and explore too. Lots of picnice table and other benches to sit on. We brought a picnic which was nice to enjoy in the space. There was a men’s bathroom but couldn’t find an open women’s bathroom which was frustrating. I would definitely return if in the area.
