There is something undeniably special about autumn in our local parks. The crisp fall air, changing leaves, and the perfect temperatures to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you have a full day to explore or just a couple of hours to spare, here is how you can build your perfect autumn day at Ocean City Parks!
Watch the Sunrise: Start your day early to catch the sunrise at Inlet Park. It offers the best view to overlook the golden morning glow over the water.
Scenic Coffee Stroll: Grab a warm cup of coffee or tea and take a peaceful walk along the paved paths at Northside Park. The mornings are prime time to spot some local wildlife!
Crisp Autumn Run: While you are at Northside Park, take advantage of the cooler temperatures with a morning run or jog along the marked 1-mile, ¾-mile, or ½-mile paths.
Cozy Fall Picnic: Pack a warm lunch and set up at Bayside Park if you are downtown, or Northside Park and Fiesta Park if you are uptown. All three parks feature picnic tables surrounded by autumn scenery, making them ideal spots to relax and eat.
Unleash Your Furry Friend: Head over to the Dog Playground behind Little Salisbury Park and let your pup get some off-leash exercise and socialize with others!

Try a New Activity: Explore the wide variety of drop-in programs offered at Northside Park. Whether that's dance, basketball, soccer, or pickleball there is bound to be something for everyone's interest and skill level!
After-School Playground: Meet up at local-parks for an after-school playdate. The cooler fall afternoon temperatures make swinging, climbing, and sliding more comfortable!
