Linthicum Park

I always review parks on a fe things. The first being how much my daughter likes them, because she is the reason I go. The second is on shade and seating, because I don’t plan to stand the whole trip. Third is quality of the equipment, and the forth thing is the actual condition of the park. Well the park itself is pretty big with plenty of open space for pretty much anything you could dream of doing. The playground area though it wasn’t the biggest, it wasn’t crowded and the equipment was in good shape. There is a huge water tower behind the park that provided a good deal of shade at the time I was at this park, which had 2 benches near the playground, and yes my daughter had a great time. When i went they were actually having a music in the park event. However i’m not much for country music, and it didn’t really look like there was anyone there that may have been interested in some good old J. Cole, K Dot, or Yeezus. I wasn’t trying Wang Chung that night… So i left that part to the natives. Overall this is a very nice park, and i’ll definitely be coming back.

Oh yeah… excellent power nap, or lunchtime nap location.

A real hidden gem in Linthicum! Tucked away behind the fire station, from the road it’s not easy to realize what they have here. Looks like just a parking area and a sign. But get out of the car, walk over the ridge, and behold! Picnic tables, a few in-​ground charcoal grills, a tennis court, and park benches strategically placed along the path.
The picnic tables are shaded nicely by the trees, but if you need to move one around a bit for some reason, you can because they are not chained down. There are also trash cans so you don’t have to carry it out.
A coworker told me the path goes around the border of the park but I haven’t walked it yet. Soon though. There is also a small stage there and apparently they have live musical performances some times on the weekends. I’ll be watching for those as well.
Great place to take lunch to and eat outside away from the office!
