Meadowbrook Park — Attraction in Ellicott City

This place is great for walking, running, and playing! During Covid phases when playgrounds were closed, my boys loved running around the various baseball fields here. The trails are nice and hilly with lots of pretty wetland scenery. I typically feel very safe here when running by myself also.

The playground here is large and a little scary if you have multiple children!

Edit: There are some nice paved walking trails all around, as well as lots of sports fields and open basketball and tennis courts. These seem well-maintained, and there are outhouses available in a variety of places. There are a couple of pavilions for picnics. One was by reservation only. There is a restroom right near the...
