Sawmill Creek Park — Attraction in Maryland

We rented the pavilion for a Saturday party. We learned when we surveyed the park on Friday and were able to call the park service that while they list a capacity of 75 that does not mean they provide seating for 75. There were four picnic tables available in the pavilion. If we wanted normal tables without benches for serving food or enough seats for 75 people to sit we needed to bring tables and chairs. We also learned that they do not provide a grilling surface so we needed to bring our own grill in order to cook food.

When we arrived on Saturday we found that the trash from the previous evening's party had not been disposed of so we had two very large bags of trash left in the pavilion that we just had to keep during our party. Additionally, the restrooms at the concession stand were closed on Saturday so the only restroom facilities were two very poorly maintained and quite frankly disgusting an unsanitary portable toilets.

Aside from the problems with the facilities available for a large scale party The park itself is a rather nice park with trails for walking, playground equipment for children, plenty of flat space to play games such as ladder ball or cornhole, tennis courts, basketball courts, and many other amenities to provide activities for participants.

The major drawback in my mind is the fact that there was no one available to remove trash from the previous parties, no restrooms available for a large party, not enough seating for a large party, nor a location to cook or serve food for a large party, yet the facility is listed as having a capacity for a party...

This review is is for the snack bar! So its Fireworks day, July 3rd. (Since nobody does fireworks ON 4th of July anymore!?!? Anywho, we go to the "snack bar" and wait in the long line to get some snacks, i.e., Hot dogs and chips and some pizza, but when we reach the window finally and start to order (our 25-30$ order), we get told that they do not accept cards and its cash ONLY. First, HAVE A SIGN UP SAYING CASH ONLY!!! So you dont have people waiting in a long line only to find out at the counter. Second, ITS FIREWORKS EVE. DONT YOU THINK IT WOULD WORK IN YOUR FAVOR TO ACCEPT CARD SINCE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT CARRY CASH AROUND..Its 2025 cripes sake. They're are all kind of ways to accept money nowadays.. My wife and I figured since the city of Glen Burnie is putting this on that we could give a little money back so to speak but I guess they dont want money!! It just REALLY grinds my gears. Guess next time I'll just bring my own food with. With all these people here and no atm and not being allowed to leave till end of event (Since I am handicapped) they would take cards, zelle, cashapp or even...

Very nice park with lots of things to do. You can choose to:

Play on the dual use fields which range from little to adult league skill levels.

Play basketball.

Skateboard at eh skate park.

Play with the kids at the play ground.

Play tennis with a friend or use the self trainer wall to practice.

Take a walk around the park on the trail or access the WB&A bike trail.

The photos taken today are after a heavy rain so the fields are alittle wet with standing water but still in good shape.

Park needs a little TLC painting (i.e. home run foul polls) but other then that it’s in good shape and very clean with very little trash. Thanks to the community doing there part to pick up the trash.

County workers out today getting it done taken care of the grass and cleaning up.

Nice park to spend an afternoon eating lunch and spending time...
