A decent size park with a lot of things to do. The running trail that goes to Lake Elkhorn is fun.

Great for Running! Great trails! Savage park is a great place for just about anyone! From your ball players(basketball, football or baseball) to your bikers, runners and walkers, you can find them all here. Some of the BIG pluses for Savage park are 1. it is very quiet. It is not located near any huge complexes or highways so it can be very quiet here. 2. Plenty of room for activities. The park is pretty spread out so you do not feel over crowded like you sometimes do at Centennial. and 3. Plenty of well maintained trails. The trails are nice, clean and offer varied degrees of difficultly. The Patuxent Branch tails starts or ends here, depending out direction and this trail goes everywhere! and offers hills, views, differing terrain, and just anything a biker/runner/walker could ask for… a must try!!! The only negatives I have seen so far are the parking, which can sometimes be tough, and mile markers and directions. In regards to parking, there are several spots in the park and just outside of the park near Savage Mill there is a ton of parking… so if you don’t mind a quick walk you can park pretty easily. For mile markers and directions, there are several spots where there are maps, but they are quiet far apart. Lastly, it is slightly confusing getting in a around the park, but its a minor issue since you can just walk across to where you need to be. Again overall, a great great park, open, clean, quiet and afterwards Rams Head is just down the street so you can grab a bite or grab a beer! So put on those sneakers and hit the pavement, your New Years resolution won’t resolve it’s self! Cheers!

beautiful park that lies in a residential area of howard county. having run through it once, i’d characterize this more as «the woods» rather than a traditional green grass park with picnic tables and benches. nonetheless, i did appreciate seeing the nature while running along a rolling hills paved path that started at one end of the park and ended at the other. note that there are no mile markers here, nor bathrooms nor water fountains, so you need to be prepared if you run through here. there is a general map of the area at the main entrance of the park so you can get a general sense of where you are. there are several parking spaces and they are free.
