Odenton's Babington Green
The Greater Odenton
Improvement Association, Inc. (GOIA) and the Friends of Anne Arundel County
Trails (both volunteer organizations) are working with the Anne Arundel
County Department of Recreation and Parks to develop a pocket park at the
crossroads of Odenton Road and Piney Orchard Parkway. The park site has
been named Odenton’s Babington Green, in honor of Leo Babington, who
enhanced the green spaces of Odenton for many years. Native trees, shrubs
and flowers will transform the empty lot into a park. Pathways will lead to
the gazebo, benches and bike rack. This project is a wonderful example of a
community working together to preserve our green space, improve our air
quality and caring for our watersheds. When the park is finished, it will
provide a beautiful resting spot for those individuals using the WB&A
trail or for those that are just looking for a place to relax. For more

Update: Brush clearing has begun for the South
Shore trail from Odenton to Annapolis. The work is taking place east of
Sappington Station Road.

by the County Executive, is staffed by Anne Arundel County Planner Mike Fox
, and chaired by Doreen Strothman. The committee is actively reviewing
plans underway for the development of many parcels of land within the
Odenton Town Plan and meets the last Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm in the
Western District Police conference room, 8273 Telegraph Road, Odenton, MD
