Jonas and Anne Catharine Green Park — Attraction in Annapolis

A small park open dawn 'til dusk with a small visitor's center open Friday-Monday (with exceptions). While it was once open 24 hours, the fishing pier now operates during the same hours as the park itself. During the months of April-September, the pier is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays until 10:00pm. It is a small park, so if it is really nice outside don't be surprised if the parking lot is full (although there is overflow parking at the WWII Memorial just up the hill).

The visitor's center is also one of the offices and the headquarters for Anne Arundel County Trails, and the Trails Rangers stop in throughout the day to check up on the place and enforce the rules.

The park is typically open for fishing and general recreation. You can picnic pretty much anywhere, but grilling is only allowed near the beach. Open campfires are never allowed. The beach can also be used for car-top boat launch (canoes, kayaks, paddle boards) but trailers are not allowed in the park.

Public restrooms in the Visitor's Center are typically open whenever the park is.

Swimming is NOT allowed because the Severn River gets very deep and can have a very strong current, and there are no lifeguards. However, wading in up to your knees is typically left alone.

Overall a great place for a picnic, fishing, some photos, launching a kayak, or to see a good view of the sunset over the...

Really nice park with great views of the Severn River, the Naval Academy, and the Chesapeake Bay. I was very pleasantly surprised how well-kept this park is and how much there is to explore. You can walk or bike around the park and link to the B&A trail which actually begins at this park and goes 13+ miles to Glen Burnie. Besides walking and riding, there is a level picnic area near the shoreline on the inner side of the park and a 280+ ft fishing pier that looks like part of an older bridge. There is a sandy beach area perfect as a launching place for car top boats/kayaks. There are satisfactory public restrooms in a building by the parking lot, which also houses the trail info center. The park is handicap accessible for parking, bathrooms,...

What can I tell you about Jonas and Anne Green Park? Great place for anybody who loves being outside. There are benches for those who want to relax and watch the afternoon sunsets over the Severn. There is a small beach area to enjoy feeling the sand at your feet. There is a fishing pier to cast a line or two. For runners (or cyclists) like myself it is great starting point for your challenging weekly runs (rides) over the Naval Academy bridge and into downtown Annapolis. There is a small kayak rental booth though I've not checked it out YET! The park is managed by MD Park Service Resources and there is a manned facility during normal business hours as well as...
