While it’s not home to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Bel Air, Maryland, still has a lot to offer. Nicknamed “The Heart of Harford,” it’s home to nine parks (five neighborhood parks, one community park and three county-maintained parks with a wide variety of amenities including an amphitheater, walking trails, a horticultural garden and more). Bel Air may be your family’s next stop in Harford County.
An Eco-Friendly Community
The town of Bel Air encourages its residents to live sustainably with a multitude of town-wide initiatives. In April 2017, the town entered into an agreement with an energy-saving company to implement several measures over two years to save the town hundreds of thousands of dollars. Bel Air also co-sponsors an annual Community Collection Day with Harford County where residents can bring unwanted bicycles, books, sporting goods and more to Bel Air High School to give these items new homes.
Pedestrians First
Whether you are out for a bike ride, walking the dog or on a run, Bel Air is working toward safer streets for pedestrians. The 2025 Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan, put together by the town’s planning and community development department, adds stop signs, speed bumps, crosswalks, bike lanes and more to slow down vehicles and more aggressive enforce traffic laws.
