There is a small rock wall, a couple of slides, monkey bars and more. It was clean and there were plenty of other children to play with without it being too crowded. Close to a walking/ biking trail and a large open field. I believe I did see a port a potty on sight. Looked to be good for dog walking too.

Only gave a 5star because there really isn't much to it but you can take a little break and relax here or play with kids or even just walk or ride the BWI trail.

A beautiful park with a playground that my granddaughter loved. The biking trail is great and the view of landing/departing planes is great fun!
