Fairgrounds Park — Attraction in Hagerstown

The fairgrounds supply an excellent array of options for a variety of outdoor activities. There is space for softball and baseball, soccer, hockey, basketball, and even skateboarding. Additionally there is plenty of places to walk, jog, or take your dog. Speaking of pets, there are two separate gated areas specifically for you to let your dog run around and socialize with other pets.

Come on Hagerstown you’re better than this at least I always thought you...

Fairgrounds park has proven itself to be one of the most conveniently located, well kept, and dog friendly places in the Washington County area. There are multiple baseball fields, 2 dog parks, a BMX track, a skateboarding park, and an ice skating rink! There are also walking trails through the woods and a paved connection between Fairgrounds and Pangborn Parks that has a running creak with lots of ducks. The park’s groundskeepers seem to keep the place very well kept and tidy, however, there are a few that enjoy enforcing the rules a little too much.
