Its always great to connect with nature. The fall foliage made the sights even more beautiful to look at. We enjoyed ourselves as always.I love the updated playground( its been a while since going to that location). It was fun peeping in the nature center windows. We spotted a stuffed fox, snakeskin and more......upon exiting we grabbed a book from the library house (just have to return/ replace with another book on next visit.

This is a great area of Patapsco (Hilton area), with the tire park/playground, hiking and camping. The playground is quite large and has a great variety of things for all ages. There are many hiking trails, and its always beautiful in the park, especially in the fall. I have returned many times for hiking, playing, and camping with my family.

Its a nice park. Theres an entrance fee but they do take credit card. There is one newer play area. The original play area is a but dated now but kids still have fun. There are also nice bathroom facilities and plenty of areas for picnics.

One of my favorite parks. We explore the many miles of trails within patapsco surrounding the tire park. Very clean and well kept.

This place is super cool. $2 on the off season to get in and that helps keep the parks clean and thriving. They don’t make playgrounds like this anymore. I had fun running around with my friends kids and would recommend for kids of all ages. They also have a nature center that is open on weekends for lots of learning.

Huge outdoor playground great for toddlers to teens. Campsite, walking trails and more. You can camp in your own tent or rent a bare cabin with a community bathroom on site. Firewood is available to purchase at the entrance, bring your own bag as they do not provide them.

Knew this place as a kid. The playground changed a bit but still true to what it stands for. The hiking is absolutely beautiful

Completely shaded fun on a hot summer day! Creative, open-ended play for kids. Tires are half-buried in the ground, so you can walk/hop/run across. Theres also a more typical playground with slides, etc. Theres a sign at the entrance that says dogs are not allowed, so I sat with my puppy at the picnic tables at the perimeter while my kids played. A bathroom is conveniently located right next to the area. There is a fee of $2 per car. To find it, set your GPS to Patapsco State Park, Hilton area.

Great play area for the kids with plenty of parking. Information kiosk says it was designed by kids and I can believe it. Interesting design for creative natural play. There is a parking fee as it is a state park.

Really enjoy taking our son here during summer. Well shaded on hot days, plenty of things to do, just wish someone worked at the nature center regularly

I love this park, it is clean and great for kids of all ages. A nice walk, plenty of parking and it isnt busy during the week.

Its really nice park. I really want to explore the trails. I think it cost $2 to park.

Great outdoor place for children

The tire park has a lovely playground with lots of shady spots, walking trails, and pavilions available for rent! We absolutely love coming every time! There is an entrance fee for guests, lots of parking, public restrooms, but no trashcans! So please bring your own trash bags and clean up after yourself when you leave!

Free for vets and military. Super fun little park. Had a cute little outdoor ranger shack with nature facts also had people come with owls and snakes to show the kids. They have great covered picnic areas with a like 6ft by 3ft charcoal grill, fireplace, and outlets all throughout. It would probably seat 80 people. Apparently they have camping there but we didnt take part in that.

Fun park. Very large, something for all ages. This is a state park so there is an entrance fee

My children loved this park when they were young. Back then it had a zip line, and they called it the Batman park. Now, my grandson loves to play on the rebuilt Playground and tire park.

We took a good friend out for her Birthday. We had a nice time. Unfortunately she passed away 6 days later but we were happy to spend time with her.

Fun park for the whole family. They even have biking trails in the surrounding park.

It was worth the $2 we paid to get in

Me and the kids loved the tire park!!! Its a good place for the family to hang out kids can have fun you can cook out there is plenty of nice trails to walk nice scenery and all. Highly recommend for anybody to go and take their family and have a good time.

Large playground with nature center, enclosed shelter, reast rooms as nd lovely setting.

The boys like to go there . And I enjoy the peace and quiet after we get home .Theyre too tired to carry on at home from running all afternoon .

Great playground with things to do for kids of all sizes.

Very fun place for kids and families. Picnic tables available and great for lunch at the park. Just wish there were trash cans available because not everyone is great about removing their own garbage, which is a shame.

Really cool idea and fun for kids off most ages.

Lots of fun for kids or big kids on mountain bikes. They also have a small animal museum.

Lots of camps there. Too crowd.

Love the park. Great place to take kids. The playground is great. They also have a small area kids can play at the small nature center as well as nature programs. There are lots of very nice pavilions for picnics and family or group gatherings as well as camping and hiking and biking trails. Its a beautiful place.

Very kid friendly, accessable starting point to park trails.

Great park for young kids and the nature center has neat info and displays on the animals native to the park. They are also several hiking trails accessible

Good outdoor space. Hiking is great. The playground is in the shade with bathrooms nearby. This playground area has a lot of space to run so it can handle a lot of kids without feeling crowded.

Wonderful day with our kids.

The park was great. The kids had fun playing. Stars removed because part of our group arrived a little later than we did and they got turned away due to what what 5he staff claimed was a lack of parking. I counted 30 parking spaces and only walked half way through the parking lot. The claim was that the spaces were being reserved for the picknick area reservations. What a joke. The lot never filled up. Perhaps someone should reevaluate when to cut off the entry of cars.

Great Park to take the kids, especially in the heat of summer. Plenty of shade all around. There is a fun little nature lodge right next to it as well with friendly folks willing to talk about the animals that live in the park.One down side is that even after remodeling some there is only ONE tire swing. Guess what is the most popular feature? Yep, I would have hoped in the remodel they would have increased the number of tire swings at the tire park. That is why it gets 4 instead of 5 stars.

My kids love playing here. This place is one of my favorite parks to take the family

Large playground with new and old structures. Fun for little and big kids.

Very fun, kids should be excited.

This is a great park for the kids. Educational too. I was only passing thru when hiking.

Good place for grade school kids. Large, open, playground. Small admission price.

Great place for kids to play and learn interesting facts about wildlife.

My son always have a great time here.

My child always has a fabulous time at the tire park. Check out the nature center if they are little.

Needs some maintenance but really nice

Its a fantastic park that is open til sunset every night. On the weekend you have to pay an entry fee per car to help upkeep the state park but its totally worth the 4 or 5 they charge. If you are in the military they give a discount. There are 2 separate park areas, campground, large open field, plenty of picnic tables and a couple of education type trails.

Its awesome adventures!

Fun!

Lovely place to play. There is a fee to park but only a few dollars.

Awesome park, lots for the kiddos to do!

We love this park!

Creative use of recyclables. Interesting layout for kiddo activities. Only con is lots of wasp and hornet nests

Shes to old now. Said it was boring.

Many different things to enjoy at this park.

Fun park with nice hiking trails

My grandfathers 80th birthday party was excellent, and it was held here.

I loved this place. The kids loved it. Will bring food and make it a picnic next time!

Lovely shaded playground. Sadly not enough for little little kids.

Can stay here for hours with my kids. Its the best.

Cool place to take your child. Different things to do there

One of my favorite places to take my nanny kids! Its part of Patapsco State Park, its fully shaded, there is a small nature center right next to the play area, and I love that the recycled a bunch of old tires by making a large play area for kids.

Great place for kids

Great natural-feel playground. My toddler loved it! Older kids seemed to enjoy it as well.

Nice park to play

This is such a cute park your kids will love. It is a part of Patapsco State Park so there is a per care fee without a pass. There is a full park made from wood, tires, and traditional play ground equipment. It has a seasonal nature shack which even has a hallow tree the children can climb through (the shack itself is seasonal). A sensory walk for children to experience the trail ( 0.10 mile) with all their senses. The beauty of nature surrounds this park and is where youth and family groups can camp in the summer. Plenty of parking without much of walk. Park is well maintained and closes around sunset. Closing time is marked by tye entrance. My son loved this park.

Playground upgrades are great!

Great place to take kids. Recent renovations are a big improvement

Fun place for a picnic!

Lots of space for kids to run around. $2 park fee

Where grown ups get to be a kid again

A portion of the tire park has been converted into traditional playground equipment - disappointing. Still fun, though!

Pretty nice park

It was ok.

Park rangers were great!

Fun

Great park

Tire park party

Kids will love it
