You Can Spend The Day Watching Planes Fly By From This Park And Playground In Maryland

Are you fascinated by planes? There's a park and playground in Maryland where you can watch planes land up close! Head here for a day of playing, hiking, biking, and most of all... keeping your eyes on the sky.

Thomas A. Dixon Observation Area is conveniently located across from BWI Airport.

Turn in right off of Dorsey Road, find a parking spot, and prepare for views galore.

Because of its proximity to the airport, this spot is perfect for watching planes all day long.

All ages are sure to enjoy the sights -- especially little ones.

Spend the day climbing on the playground equipment...

...or hop on the local loop trail that's perfect for walking or jogging, but mostly bicycling.

Families often bring bicycles to ride sections of the paved path. Or if you're feeling really adventurous, explore the whole loop, which is over 10 miles in length.

We recommend packing a picnic lunch and then ending your meal with a little something sweet at the sno-ball stand. You'll often find it parked here, ready to satisfy.

Next time you have a free day, consider checking out this local gem.

Sounds like a perfectly unique day trip right here in Maryland.

Address: 1911 Dorsey Road, Glen Burnie, MD 21061
