Severna Park

Severna Park residents enjoy four distinct seasons, highlighted by the impressive falling of the leaves. This yearly event is no more present than in the city’s eight public parks and along the B & A Bike Trail. Once an abandoned railway, the B & A Bike Trail has been transformed into an attractive linear park attracting millions of visitors each year. Walkers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians share the trail with squirrels, rabbits, owls, and other wildlife. The trail is associated with the Rails to Trails Conservancy, a national organization advocating the transformation of abandoned railways into public trails. The B & A Trail is also a part of the East Coast Greenway, serving as part of a large network of biking and hiking paths that will eventually stretch from Maine to Florida.

Local parks offer lighted tennis, handball, and basketball courts; baseball and softball diamonds; football and soccer fields; picnic facilities and covered pavilions. Several professional sports teams are located nearby. Oriole Park at Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium house baseball’s Baltimore Orioles and football’s Baltimore Ravens, respectively. Washington’s Redskins football and Wizards basketball teams are another 15 miles down the road. All four stadiums are located in strategically-designed downtown metropolis centers with first-class shopping, dining and nightlife to satisfy anyone’s social appetite.

Severna Park’s regional village centers, with thriving local businesses, offer residents a distinctive shopping experience without having to travel far from home.
