There's a paved walking trail from the parking lot to the park. Separate small and large dog areas, water fountain, lots of mature trees, plenty of benches in the shade and poop bags provided. We came at 10:30 on a Saturday while passing through the area and it was very quiet. Some families at the playground but no other pups. I would only say if you pup is not child friendly you may want to scope things out beforehand. The walking trail is back from the playground but you do walk along beside it.

We have visited a few times in the last week and it's not been very crowded any of the times. In fact, she's had the entire small dog side to herself every time (which makes her a little sad to have no one to play with though). It's just a basic fenced in field with 2 sides. One for large and one for small. Each approved applicant receives a key card to gain entry and a dog tag for their dogs to wear. There are bowls provided and a water tap. We bring our own water and bowl though. The walk to the dog area isn't far from the parking lot like some parks I have seen.

Management checks to make sure the dogs are licensed and has a recent rabies shot. No kids under a certain age are allowed which is smart because you can't predict how all dogs are going to act around kids and vice versa. Charlie enjoys running around barking at the big dogs and playing or just laying around. My only suggestion is more benches for the humans to sit and maybe a shaded area. Otherwise Charlie and I enjoy this park.

I do wish they had little set ups for stuff for the dogs to do but not all wishes are granted. I normally always bring my dogs bowls for water just for safety reasons but they do have water bowls there for the pups. When we showed up there were only 2 big dogs there. So my 4 little dogs were all on their own to play with each other. My 1 big dog was excited to see some new friends though! When I asked one of the guys that was there how is it normally, he stated that there's normally plenty of dogs. We were thinking because it was a little warmer outside people may not wanted to come. So hopefully next time we will run into more dogs! For the humans they have some chairs and a tarp covering a portion of the chairs so you can have some shade. There are also some poop bags on the fence in a pull out box. There is also trails you can walk outside of the dog park fence area. I will definitely be back with me pups!

The large dog park field is very patchy. There is some grass and some soil area all around. Towards the back of the dog park, the grass is very dead and long.

This was the biggest disappointment for me. - They do offer complimentary poop bags. - The trash can outside the dog park near the parking lot. - There is no water for the dogs unlike most dog parks. You need to bring your own.

I have only been here once when I was the only person with a dog there (Wednesday at 3pm) and shortly someone else came. There are 3 large runs with the ability to fence off your dog if you choose but it mainly stays open. If you don't live in Bel Air, I do not recommend trying to get there around rush hour (5pm) because it took us an extra 30 minutes to get through all the traffic and we were very frustrated when we got there but weekends are easy. There are plenty of waterbowls for your dogs. I usually bring a gallon of water and all the dogs share spit. This is a great place in the community. Adjacent to the dog park is a nice hiking trail you can take your dog on as well. From one end and back, it is over 4 miles.

From my one visit, Nottingham appears to be a very good park overall, with numerous pavilions for groups, and several other amenities. But it's the serpentine barrens (and also the proximity to Herr's and its Christmas light display) that attracted us the other day. Serpentine barrens developed from volcanic activity that accompanied plate tectonic collisions. So these barrens are believed to date from 480 million years ago, when the current Appalachian Mountains were created from one of the tectonic plate collisions. The serpentinite bedrock is not nutrient-friendly and it includes numerous rare metals that also inhibit routine vegetation. But it can and will get overrun by pine trees and other species that can handle the conditions. American Indians contained the barrens as grasslands by burning them off periodically. Then the new growth would attract grazing animals and make for good hunting for the Indians. Colonists did not understand or care about the dynamic and ended up losing much of the specialness that these barrens represent. In Nottingham, about half a mile up one of the marked trails, you first see the savannah-like ecosystem of the barrens. There are some trees, and some shrubs, but you will also soon see the green-tinged serpentine rock. In some areas, it is all the faint green color. Half a billion years old, you might remind yourself. There are also many pure white stones that may have resulted from the same or other process; don't know any more than that. A ranger in the office told us, You will right away see the strangeness and difference of the barrens. Well.... I could see it. My wife thought the strangeness and the green rock were both overhyped and the reality was disappointing. So be forewarned, you will probably not be overwhelmed by the serpentine barrens in this county park -- which has several trails and covers a lot of ground besides the barrens area. But if you are interested, the barrens are there and fun to tour. And if you're not, you're still going to get some good hiking up and down the modest hills of the territory. I will be going back in warmer weather to see what these barrens might look like in spring and summer. There is no charge for entering this county park.
