As the days get warmer and the nights get longer, there’s more and more to do in Howard County. From the Howard County townhomes at Shipley’s Grant, a large number of parks and recreational activities are just moments away. Take full advantage of May and try out some of the activities and events we’ve listed here.
Enjoy a Day in The Park: Community parks are all around Shipley’s Grant, from Long Reach Park to Blandair Park to Rockburn Branch Park. Make a day of it by picnicking or hiking or playing Frisbee golf or just watching your kids enjoy the playgrounds. It’s one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to spend time outdoors. www.co.ho.md.us/RAP/RAP_HoCoParks.htm

Within minutes of Shipley’s Grant, you’ll find Fairway Hills Golf Course fairwayhillsgolfclub.com, Timbers at Troy Golf Course timbersgolf.com and Rolling Road Golf Course www.rollingroadgc.org. It’s a great way to enjoy the May weather.
Have Fun in Historic Ellicott City: The beauty that is Ellicott City’s historic area is getting more attractive. Stop by May 6th for the First Friday festivities and special offers from stores and restaurants. Then, on the 6th and 7th or the 27th and 28th, go on a two-part ghost tour of the city’s most haunted sites. If a less spooky event is more to your liking, try the historic walk on May 14th. www.visithowardcounty.com
Take in the Howard County Cup Race: What better way to spend a beautiful day than by watching horse racing? Attend the 68th annual Howard County Cup Races on May 7th, beginning at 2pm. www.hcibhounds.com and be a part of a long-standing tradition.
Enjoy Concerts at Merriweather Post Pavilion: As one of the region’s premier concert venues, Merriweather Post Pavilion is a great place to catch shows.
