Excellent park. We’ve been hiking on the trails and they are easy to navigate, beginner level, and mostly shaded. Just watch out for mountain bikers! You can also connect to Patapsco trails to extend your hiking a little further. They also have tennis courts, ball fields, and lots of basketball courts. And don’t forget Frisbee golf! Hidden behind the basketball courts is a nice playground. There is a smaller toddler playground and then a bigger kid playground. They are both in great shape. The only disappointment for the playground is that the swings were removed when we visited. Otherwise the park has always been in great shape and well maintained.

We are here regularly to watch our granddaughter play softball. Parking is ALWAYS a problem on weekends. Area around Field 7 and 8 is dangerous for people and vehicles when kids over the age of 10 play.

Great, well-kept park near Patapsco Valley State Park! Some bikers told me you can easily get to the state park from this local park, so that’s a definite plus on the weekends if you can’t find parking easily. The trails here are fun for not only biking, but running too! Up at the top of the hill there looking like a pretty sweet Skills Park for some extreme bikers(that wouldn’t be me, but it looked cool!). There’s at least 3 baseball fields and a nice concession stand area with clean bathrooms. Definitely a nice place to stop by for some activities!

I’m here every other weekend. Check out the playground, mountain biking skills park and hiking trails. A true gem in Howard County.

Grab some kids, bikes and helmets and go ride the fun, free bike trails! We went on a summer Monday and practically had it to ourselves. Four trails will challenge just about any rider, and the short loops make for a great learning environment. Plenty of parking makes getting in and out very easy.

The playground has three picnic tables, four swings(two of which are the bucket styles for younger kids), and rubberized flooring underneath the main playground structure. There’s a basketball court nearby as well as a port-o-potty, a pavilion for rentals, and a volleyball court. This park is also home to a really beautiful disc golfing course, but it’s confusing and hard to follow the first couple times you go. I would recommend looking at their website for a good map before heading out. We’ve even seen a disc vendor out there on certain Saturdays in the summer. Relatively newer to Rockburn Branch Park are the Pump Track and skills parks maintained by the local mountain biking community. Definitely worth checking out!

Check out the website for a full list of offerings of this park. I’m writing this review based soley on the parts of the park I’ve enjoyed, which are the ball fields and hiking/biking trails. This park is plenty large and has very modern, well kept ball fields. My nephew said he felt like a star playing in an NFL game when he played here under the lights(he was 12 playing in the league championship). The park has quite a few ball courts and fields – I’ve never had a problem finding an empty field or court to toss the ball around on. The park is also very well shaded, making it great to enjoy this time of year when the weather is nice. Lately I’ve been visiting this park for the trails. There are 2 trails that are great for beginner mountain biking. The trails aren’t too technical and go just fast enough for a beginner getting their wind and balance. There are twists and turns and side paths to take keep the ride varied. I highly recommend these trails for folks just starting out. Last but not least, this park is a good place to park to ride a trail over to Patapsco Park for more advanced mountain biking and hiking. We don’t have the nerve to try that park yet, but I’m sure whenever we do, we’ll use Rockburn Branch Park as our entry point.
