Recreational hotspots include “Honeygo Run Regional Park and Angel Park,” according to Snyder. “Angel Park is the newer one in the area and features a library.” The park’s playground on a rubberized surface was built from the ground up by nearly 4,000 volunteers in the area. It’s the largest all-inclusive playground in Baltimore County, designed to accommodate children living with disabilities. Honeygo Run Park is anchored by a 13,000-square-foot indoor recreation center where locals can take fitness classes or join a recreational league team. With multiple wooded trails, spanning a quarter mile to nearly 1.5 miles, the expansive green space is also a favorite among bikers and hikers.
