Bailey Park
📍BAILEY PARK
- at Lake Kittamaqundi
- Columbia, MD
Lake Kittamaqundi is a central part of Columbia’s downtown area here in Howard County. If you’re a local, you know about this lake. It’s home to the beautiful Lake Front Live events with @columbiaassn , neighbors to Whole Foods, @merriweather_lakehouse , and several other restaurants.
Recently they put in BAILEY PARK, which features a slide, musical structures, and a climbing dome. Nearby there is also some shaded outdoor seating, and you can walk around the lake’s 1.4 mile loop, walk around the water fountain, or even check out @thepearlspa spa for their amazing services as well.
FUN FACTS:
“Lake Kittamaqundi is a 27 acre, man-made lake. The lake reaches a maximum depth of seven feet, and also features a wooden dock. The lakefront holds summer festivals, including free outdoor movies and concerts.”
“Columbia Lakefront has a trail around the lake. It’s also connected to other parks in the area. There’s a sign at the trail entrance behind the Whole Foods building. The sign indicates the distance and directions for how to get to the nearby parks. The lake path is paved and can be taken around the lake in a 1.4 mile loop.” — Karen, @beentheredonethatwithkids
