Havre de Grace's many parks provide visitors with lots of opportunities for waterfront access. Besides the larger waterfront Tydings Park, there are four additional smaller waterfront parks. David Craig Park is a small park located near the entrance to downtown Havre de Grace on Union Avenue. Jean Roberts Park, with a public boat ramp and covered picnic area is accessible from Route 40. Hutchins Park, at the foot of Congress Avenue, has a fishing pier and public restroom facilities. North Park is located adjacent to the Susquehanna Museum of Havre de Grace at the Lockhouse at Erie and Conesto Streets. On Saturdays, May through October, you can visit the Havre de Grace farmers market. The farmers market is set up on Pennington Avenue between Washington Street and Union Avenue. The farmers market sells local seasonal produce, jellies, jams, baked goods, small shrubs and ornamental grasses. Hours are 9:00am to noon. Golfers will want to plan on playing a round at the famous Bulle Rock Golf Course. The course, designed by Pete Dye and considered to be one of the best public courses in Maryland, has hosted the LPGA championship many times. Call ahead to reserve your tee time. You can play with a cart or take advantage of Bulle Rock's traditional walking caddie program. The nearby Susquehanna State Park offers a variety of recreational opportunities for visitors. The 2,500 acre park is located on the banks of the Susquehanna River, just outside of Havre de Grace. The main attractions at the park are the Carter Mansion, the Rock Run Mill, and the Jersey Toll House. The Rock Run Mill was recently restored and visitors can see corn ground into meal. Susquehanna State Park is also home to the Steppingstone Museum, a turn-of-the-century working farm. Museum buildings include a farmhouse, furnished as a turn-of-the century country home; the Blacksmith Shop; various tool shops; carriage barn; weaving room; veterinarian's office; general store; and display barn. Aberdeen, home to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds and Ripken Stadium, is located about six miles southwest along Route 40 (Pulaski Highway). Aberdeen is the location of Ripken Stadium, where Cal Ripken's minor league Iron Birds baseball team plays. The Proving Ground is a United States Army facility for the design and testing of ordinances (i.e. weapons and ammunition). There are a number of hotels in Aberdeen which are good options for people visiting Havre de Grace.
