This place is really cute. It's around $8 to play mini golf if you're not a Columbia association…read moremember, otherwise it's a dollar less. The course itself is really pretty and fairly clean. There's sand traps and "rivers". The water is dirty but that's expected. Sells ice cream and food. We also had an all day pass to the batting cages as well. Bats are provided along with helmets. It's done with a wrist pass, so there's no coins to get the cages started. So the GPS address actually takes you to an apartment residential area. The actual place is behind the plaza with Safeway and McDonald's. So try inputting those addresses instead! McDonalds: 5485 Harpers Farm Rd, Columbia, MD 21044 Go into the plaza and keep going straight back. You should see flags.

This place is about the closest thing to a skate park as you get here in this part of Maryland…read more What you can find here: a bunch of shitty homemade ramps that fall apart clusters of kids getting in the way and a few local shredders (the few who are used to these terrible ramps) In addition to the banks, the 1/4 pipe (if you can call it that), a coped foot-high curb, and some assorted Jersey barriers (with no kickers?), theres also a mini ramp there. It's made of metal though, so slip outs are on the menu. Come here if you're in the area, and have a vehicle, and want to skate a strange little homemade spot. Just get your tetanus booster before.

Spas and sparkling rosé...more my speed, but I am always up for different experiences. Having said that...I've experienced it, and umm...with mosquito bites still itching, this was cool...not sure if I would say, "yes" again. While he set up the tents, I went to grab a margarita. Upon my return, I was impressed with the setup. Who knew camping could be "chic"? lol. After sending my daughter pics, she said it was, "glamping," not "camping." Lol Honestly, I enjoyed. Just hated the bugs. I love to read. If you do too, bring a good book. The camping ground is spacious. You're assigned a lot where you set up your tent(s). Seems like he had the entire gamut -- blow up couch, blow up bed, portable grill, speakers for music, bug repellent, food, and libations ;-) You will hear everything that is nature at night. I swear I heard a fox howling/barking. All-in-all, it was a cool experience...five days later, still itching from those bites. Oh! There's a water park too...arrive early to get in because they do have a capacity limit.

Wayyyyy back in the day, my dad bought a RV, and the one place that I can explicitly remember us…read moregoing, was Lake Fairfax Park. I also remember having a great time on the lake paddle boating and swimming in the big "L" shaped pool. Fast forward decades later, I have taken a liking to camping. I still consider myself a novice, and over the last 3yrs, I have accumulated some cool stuff. I have an annual camping trip with a large group next month, but I wanted to do a small intimate trip to one of my favorite childhood places. I must say, Lake Fairfax has one big change from when I was a child. It now has a HUGE waterpark that has giganic water slides as soon as you enter. I was a little disappointed to hear from the check-in Park attendant, who had the personality of a disinterested teenager, that the L shaped pool I referenced was no longer there. My picture of laying poolside or chillin in the pool were shattered, because with waterparks, comes tons and tons of young kids.. and honestly, I would just rather not..LOL! Once we made it to our assigned camping lot, I was super pleased at how close we were to the extremely clean rest rooms that were equipped with showers. The camping site was noticeably quiet, almost library quiet, so that suprised me a little. I didn't want to disrupt the flow, so I kept my speaker at a low level. :) All in all, I had a memorable experience at Lake Fairfax Park and I can definitely see myself coming back sometime next Spring/Summer!!

There was not a lot of shade on the actual park and my kids got hot, but Kona ice was in the parking lot so they were happy about it. We also rode the carousel which was fun. $4 a rider and adults have to pay to assist their little under the 42 inch height requirement. The train was the same, but it was closed for repair the day I was there. The biggest downfall was I could only find portapotties. However, this park was a lot of fun to visit for a day.

Before deciding to go here, I'd like you to think about one word: RULES…read more This splash park has a LOT of them, and I do mean a LOT. You can't exit, even if you forgot something at your car. You can't bring in water bottles with water in them. No jewelry or even an Apple Watch on the slides. I forgot my phone in the car, and was only allowed to get it when the manager escorted me. The workers were nice enough about enforcement, but it all got a little tiring after awhile. This is a municipal park, not DisneyWorld. Chill. As for the park itself, it's fine. A big (not particularly deep) pool, surrounded by 3 slides (one for tykes, another for under 7, and the grandaddy of them all, which is towering). There was plenty of space for sitting and umbrellas. The bathrooms are clean, the pool and slides are well maintained and there are lifeguards everywhere. The water is ice cold, and there are vending machines. Outside food is allowed (maybe this is just due to covid, there was a grille but it was closed), but don't get cute trying to sneak in liquor because they do search your bags thoroughly. I get the sense the city really cares about this facility and treats it accordingly. But check beforehand. Weekends are for city residents ONLY. Nobody from outside MoCo is allowed in, and they will check your ID to confirm. For some reason, I was only charged $6 (the city rate) instead of $11 (I like in Silver Spring) so that admittedly influenced my rating. I might have been a but harsher (because rules) had I paid full cost. My kids (ages 9 and 12) got a bit bored after awhile, but for the price, this isn't a bad way to blow an afternoon.

Really good skatepark--it's probably worth about 3.5 stars right now, but I'm putting 4 because…read morethere are many positive aspects about this place. Really nice bowl area, street style area, and good to practice dropping in. There's also a basketball and futsal court nearby if you want to take a break from skating. Only things are low maintenance so there are leaves everywhere, and trash from people who don't even skate but just sit around sometimes. Also the concrete in some of the transitions and bowls is cracked and old, posing a dangerous obstacle regardless of your speed. So just a few words of improvement: it would be nice if the city or county would come and refinish the pavement so no one trips and dies, and for park goers, please throw away your trash so skaters don't trip on it and get injured; even pick up after other people just to make this good park better. But overall, I recommend it!
