Events and Family Activities

We are excited to announce the introduction of a new sensory path at Worton Park, developed by Eric Fitch from the Maryland SNAP-ED Program and installed by the Department of Public Works' Grounds Maintenance Division. This vibrant and interactive pathway will provide an engaging experience for visitors of all ages, encouraging exploration while promoting physical activity, mindfulness, and sensory development.

The sensory path will include various sections designed to inspire activities such as hopping, balancing, stretching, and spinning, all aimed at stimulating movement and enhancing coordination. We invite you to visit the Sensory Path at Worton Park and partake in the enjoyment it offers.

The Story Walk at Worton Park is a delightful self-guided experience designed for families. As you stroll along the walking trail in the park, you will encounter beautifully illustrated storybook pages that bring a captivating tale to life. Perfect for children and adults alike, this activity encourages a love of reading and exploration in a picturesque outdoor setting.

A chance for kids to bring their adult sweetheart (mom, dad, grandparent, etc.) out for a formal evening of food, dancing, and memories. 

Bring your own Nerf Gun for team buiding target practice, food, and fun for the whole family!
