This is a top notch park, playground, ball field, concert space, outdoor gym, fishing pier, sightseeing pier, kayak rental, paddle board rental... pretty sure they also had a snack bar and bathrooms, though it was later when we were there so it seemed closed... what doesn't this place have!? We found this spot and visited three or four times during our stay at the beach. Our kids are young, so they really enjoyed the playground which has sections for all ages (2-12 at least!), plus we REALLY enjoyed strolling down the lengthy pier at sunset. There's a lagoon that has a bridge over it, which was very nice, and the walking paths are freshly paved within the past few years, and have wonderful signage and markings to keep you aware of your journey. We enjoyed walking around, but because we were destined for the playground, made our routes to find our way there and to the pier. People were crabbing and fishing, and there were REALLY helpful QR-code based signage to help you navigate the various fishing regulations that take place throughout the different months and seasons. So, they basically help you to not get a ticket! While we were there, they were setting up for a concert and art festival, which seemed really nice, but we had to leave before it happened so we didn't actually catch the festivities. Oh, and did I mention they had a turtle hatching habitat!? We didn't see any turtles, but did see that it was marked off and protected by some fencing to keep them safe. That would be SO cool to see turtles being hatched and finding their way to the water!
I went for a late night walk and this park was everything I needed. It offered a beautiful ambiance and the sounds of pond life. There was an elaborate jungle gym which was super cool! No swings though which was kinda sad but maybe it was too dark to see where they were. There's a track and seems like 2 fields, a pond and a place to crab, a pier and a lot more. There was also little information plaques around that I found to be so cute and helpful.
Really lovely little park! I sent there 4 times during my short 4 day visit to North Ocean City, as it was right by my hotel. Our first visit was for the fireworks - awesome 20 minute display with background music. A live band played before the fireworks. We also went back to bike (just a quick circle around and a stop at the pier), and we went back twice to enjoy some recreational crabbing. I think it was too early in the season to do any real crabbing...but lots of fun. There are also kayaks and stand up paddles for rent....but the hours for that seemed kind of unpredictable. We were there around 11 or 12 on a Friday and they were just opening shop. There is a small sandy area where people take their dogs to play in the water. While it's a small park, it's free and it's beautiful.
What a great park. It's a sports facility inside and outside with a crabbing dock and kayak kiosk on the side. The track o/s might be 1/2 mile around. Two baseball fields, an actual sports track and such. Nice pond there with a bridge. Picnic tables available but I didn't see any grills. Even a playground and a "Little Library" Lots of people crabbing on the dock. That's why we came here. Gotta take the kids crabbing. What's more fun than catching crabs with chicken on a string! Kids and adults alike were catching one after another. Blue crabs! Lots of fun. Very pretty setting. Lots of bird watching here also. Great place to come spend time with the family.
Fun park on the lake with a jungle gym and softball fields. They have bathrooms and vending machines. And a little shelter with tables/benches for when the sun's beating down.
North side park to me is a hidden gem of Ocean City, specially for those people who come on extended trips to the City. This is a good place to take your baby on a stroll (well paved pathways), to take your kids to the playground, or to work out. The park has a playground, a workout area for adults, a bridge and areas to go crabbing and fishing. The park has educational signs that I found interesting; teaching the visitor about different nature facts about living organisms in the park. The park also has fireworks which we happened to see on Father's Day. I believe they have fireworks for different occasions. While you walk to the paved areas there are mile markers to see how far you have walked. There is also a little library box in which you can take a book and leave a book. The park is a good area to see trees, since there aren't that many trees in Ocean City. I would have liked to see more maps.
This park has four nice baseball diamonds, a huge play ground, and a well maintained and long walking/running trail. There is also a beautiful view of the bay!
Not bad. It's a nice place to go if you're tired of the beach, or just want something different than a sandy beach. It's close enough to Ocean City's boardwalk area, and it's a peaceful place to walk around and have a conversation with someone... It's especially good for kids (lot of things they could do, too!) I kind of wished there were some small benches to sit on, ON the pier.. but the pier is pretty narrow and small, so it's not bad if you just feel like getting even closer to the water. There's adequate benches along the body of water where the bridge is at though... but there were a few bees around them (they put the trash cans directly next to the benches... eck) - So that was the only "meh" part; I hate bees! =X
OC and Maryland Dept of Nat Res put together this nice park. Lots of recreational sports indoor and out. Very nice pier for crabbing and fishing and a lagoon to rent kayaks and paddle boards. Peaceful retreat from the fast paced city of OC.
The park itself is a few open fields but it's the water inside and outside that make it something special. Definitely walk along the pier and enjoy the flowers along the path.
Family oriented, dog friendly park. Catch a high school baseball or softball game, rent a kayak and paddle the bay, or enjoy the sunset off the dock.
For the past few years, we've traveled to Ocean City, Maryland and arrive on Sundays. Our Sunday itinerary always consists of coming to this park for their "Sundeas in the park ". There is street parking or a lot parking available. I do recall one year due to the Marlin tournament. Parking was difficult and we did park a few blocks away. Overall the walk was not bad and it was well worth it. I recommend bringing chairs or a blanket. If you plan to stay a while. On Sundays, they have a live band, ice cream for purchase, a playground, pond, and lots of open grass for family and friends to enjoy. Everyone's favorite part is the Sunday fireworks show. The show is great! We will continue to add this park to our Sunday fun day while in Ocean City. read more

What a cool park!! I followed my fellow Yelpers here and it was Bette than I had expected! Huge, clean, gorgeous scenery of the water and more! Baseball field, huge kids playground for all ages, an adult outdoor workout area under a tent, nice bike path, gazebo, bridge and lovely grounds for soccer, football or a picnic. read more
Always something fun going on here--whether it is concerts in the summer or the Christmas light walk through display in the winter. Last weekend, we came to Sundaes in the Park. The line for sundaes was really, really long--so we skipped that part. But the band was great. There is a huge lawn so there is plenty of space to accommodate a lot of people. The Sunday night fireworks display was great and probably lasted about 15 minutes. It was a great, family friendly activity! read more

Went there are spending two days in South Ocean City on the Boardwalk. The board is lovely but can get a little crowded and redundant after some time. Heard about this park and decided to drive up to 125th street. Huge parking lot with tons of spaces. The park is lovely with large fields. The dock, which there are tons of picture of, is simply beautiful. There were a few people fishing off the dock and at the base of the dock there is a kayak rental business. The water seems very calm and it was pretty empty and soothing compared to the busier downtown. I highly recommend this free destination to any visiting Ocean City. Keep in mind that this park faces the west as opposed to the boardwalk and beach which face the east. So....while you can get awesome sunrises on the Beach, you can get awesome sunsets on this park. There is also a McDonalds on the corner of 125th street and the main highway before turning into the main street for the park. Feel free to gab some food, just be sure to use the trash cans at the park!! read more

This is the best place to exercise or walk your dog. Rated as the second most popular place in all of Ocean City. Live entertainment in the summer and Sundaes in the Park for the kids. This is the place to be for the 4th of July fireworks! read more
