of Bay Shore Amusement Park, which was one of the premiere amusement parks in Maryland from 1906 - 1947. Current visitors to the park can enjoy
hiking, wading, birdwatching, bicycling, fishing, picnicking, group events, and remnants of Bay Shore Park, such as the restored Trolley Station and
fountain.
Current amenities
The park still hosts piers and provides beach access to visitors, who have been permitted to wade since 1999. There are picnic tables and grills on
site. The historical fountain has been restored. The restaurant, too, has been partially restored, converted into the Takos Visitor Center. The old
trolley station is used by permit for large gatherings of up to 400 people.
FORT HOWARD - BALTIMORE COUNTY PARK
(source: Wikipedia.com)
Fort Howard is the name of a former military installation in Baltimore County, Maryland, near the present-day settlement of Fort Howard. The
installation earned the nickname the "Bulldog at Baltimore's Gate" and served as the coastal artillery headquarters for Baltimore. The installation was
turned over to the Veterans' Administration in 1940, which still owns the majority of the property. The portion of the property containing the old coastal
artillery fortications was declared surplus federal land and is now the county park. Visitors to the park can enjoy hiking, birdwatching, bicycling, fishing,
picnicking, group events and remnants of the old artillery fortifications. Fort Howard Park is also home to the Edgemere-Sparrows Point Rec Council
Haunted Dungeons.
