An unincorporated town in Baltimore County, Nottingham boasts a family-friendly atmosphere with a small-town feel. Its population is unclear, as is its footprint, with Google showing it as a small community within Rossville — matching partially with a census tract in Rossville reflected in the values above, with 5,124 people over 1.1 square miles. Some estimates are much broader though, and the Nottingham zip code is often shared by its neighbors, so we’ve chosen to include Rossville and Overlea as part of the greater Nottingham area. This region south of White Marsh is ripe with things to do and family-friendly amenities like shopping, community centers and parks.
Parks, Playgrounds, Picnics & More
Nottingham and the surrounding area boast several great parks filled with history, adventure and lots of space to run. Check out the large green expanse at King’s Court Park, where you can take the kids and the dogs to get some energy out, or cool off at King’s Court Pool just down the road. If you want a park with more amenities check out Double Rock Park, which features two playgrounds, an athletic field, community gardens, walking trails, picnic areas and more.
Cultural Landmarks and Learning
Holt Park and Center for the Arts has lush, beautiful grounds and play areas as well as an arts center and amphitheater. Holt Park also has summer camps and hosts birthday parties. The Natural Society of Maryland boasts multiple collections including paleontology, ornithology and minerals and rocks exhibits. A full calendar of events can be found online at marylandnature.org.
