I am trying to figure out which parks are closest to B-more and have nice picnic/BBQ facilities (tables, grills, pavilions if possible) for about 30 people for Sat of Labor Day weekend. I don%26#39;t want to make people drive more than 15-20 mins from B-more. Anyone have thoughts on the best options? Ideally, in addition to being convenient, it would also be a pretty setting :-).
Thanks!

Best parks for labor day big family picnic/BBQ
Not sure of this is what you are looking for: Oregon Ridge, which is a straight shot up 83 North of the city is nice and has a great playground. There is also swimming, but I can%26#39;t reccomend it. If you want something closer to DC, there is Patapsco State Park with lots of little offshoots around Ellicott City and Mariottsville. Google the MD DNR site for more details. I remeber a really good playground at one of those near UMBC.

Centennial Park in Ellicott City is a very large park that offers grills, pavillions, tennis and basketball courts, walking paths, a man made lake, playground equipment. In the past you needed to reserve pavillions in advance through Howard County Parks and Rec. I do not know if that has changed or not. The park is located very close to Columbia off of Route 29, 108 and Centennial Lane.
Thanks - very helpful! Will check both of these out.
