👍 Decent place to have a family cookout with an opportunity to catch fish. There are many picnic tables, portapottys and a large playground. Good family fun on a nice day. People often mention playground, park,

    My toddler had a great time on the playground! The park is very nice & right on the water. Plenty of seagulls to watch!!

    Nice little park with ducks, fishing piers, and a playground. I grew up nearby and like it for nostalgic reasons but it is quite small and the waste treatment plant nearby can get pretty ripe when it's hot out. Also very buggy all summer. No swimming allowed but it is fun to bring some bread and feed the ducks, just keep in mind they can be very aggressive. Great spot to watch the sunset.

    I am here now! I am enjoying watching the squirrel chases, the birds flying, and the ducks strolling. There was an unidentified animal that crawled from the treeline near the water to graze also. The birds are singing and the wind is blowing. The view is fabulous as the brisk winds blow the currents along. From the area were I am seated, there is water on three sides, hence Cox Point. Their numerous picnic tables and grills are spread across the spacious area. There are three fishing piers and a boat dock. Oh I forgot to mention the playground. It's a well kept Baltimore County secret! Sshhhhusshh! No they didn't pay we to write this!

    The park looks really beautiful. There's plenty of opportunities for family activities, such as barbecuing, fishing, hiking, etc. It has some fabulous scenery as well.

    They have a brand new playground and it's awesome! It was like a pirate ship. The only thing that I don't love about it is that they made the little baby playground area the same thing as half of the bigger kid playground area. It's still a great playground for littler kids but it's the same exact thing as the other playground so I just don't understand why they put two of the same playground in. But it's seriously brand new it has the name of the park engraved on the side, they're a little pirate ships with so many rope climbing areas. I can definitely see this becoming one of the destination playgrounds of Baltimore county this summer.

    This park is so beautiful. A woman I met at Rocky point state park introduced my children and I to this park and we’ve come twice the last week. There is a good size playground, pavilion, picnic tables and benches bordering the water. There is also a pier for fishing and a goose pond. It is so peaceful and calm and just a fun place to take the kids to burn some energy.

    I'm in my mid-30s and I've gone to this park since I could walk as a child. This was a favorite place to go for our family for many occasions. Until the last year, the park remained unchanged. It recently got a facelift with new park playgrounds, sliding boards n jungle gyms. They did some renovations to the pier ect. Very nice place n very active. It's quite a diverse Park never had an issue in all the years with staff or visitors.

    I take my granddaughter there to feed the ducks and I enjoy holding the bread up in the air and wait for the seagulls to swoop down and eat from my hand . This video didn’t have me holding the bread in the air but it’s fun when I do that 😊
