4.5Historic Downtown Frederick(675 reviews) - Great Place to Visit (or live) Spent 2-3 hours Historic Sites • Historic Walking Areas • Scenic Walking Areas
Fredrick is a delightful place to visit full of character, history, shops and restaurants to mention just a few of it's charms. The Carroll Creek is another reason to visit and enjoy. The creek has beautiful water lilies, ducks and sculptures. Often called 'Little Philadelphia', the architecture is colonial and civil war with beautiful brick buildings and newer buildings as well. An active arts community and foodie destination, a city full of history, a minor league baseball stadium, a community airport, festivals...you need to visit!See more..

Came upon this park while staying in North East. What a pleasant little quaint park to enjoy for the afternoon. Very much enjoyed relaxing, fishing off the free fishing dock and eating at the wonderful restaurant next to the park, which overlooks the park and marina. Extra special was the Upper Bay Museum in the park, a free museum which was informative and fun. Enjoy!See more..

It was so good to see the sunflowers return. Earlier in the summer I was doubting that a crop would be planted for 2021. Although a little late in the season compared to previous years. The sunflowers are now blooming, the trains/paths are well maintained and the concession stands are up and running. It seems that the diameter of the flowers is a little smaller than in the past, but this may be due to growing factors. Regardless, their bright yellow faces are a welcome. See more..
2.5Davidsonville Park(3 reviews) - Sunday walk at the park Spent 2-3 hours Arenas & Stadiums • Scenic Walking Areas Did a family trip to Davidsonville Park. Very nice, level walking path, perfect for kids learning to ride a bike. The playground was small and had three problems. First, there was some very inappropriate graffiti on the playground equipment. Second, there was a lot of standing water in the playground. Third, there was trash spread across the playground area. Although it was the weekend, the county should invest to keep this park clean. See more..
5.0Shafer Park(3 reviews) - Great Local Park Spent 1-2 hours Scenic Walking Areas
This was our first time here (for a youth lacrosse game), and we were impressed -- with everything except the bathrooms not being open. Lots of space. Several fields. Basketball courts. Multiple pavillions. A bandstand. And great kiddie park with playground equipment. It's also near the Police and Fire Stations, and is monitored via surveillance camera. So - safe. The mom & tot swing was very unique. The sphere climbing mound was cool, and there's enough space for everyone. Parking: Free lots Bathrooms: Several, but all were closed saying they'd open in the Spring (and this was a week into official spring)... plus there's nowhere else local to go.See more..
