Pen Mar County Park is located in Washington County, Maryland. It’s close to the Mason-Dixon Line. The park’s address is 14600 Pen Mar Road, Highfield-Cascade, Maryland.
Once an amusement park in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the rides and buildings were dismantled in 1943. In 1977, the former amusement park was developed into a county park. One of the buildings in the park, open during specific hours, houses some memorabilia from the amusement park.
There’s two main parking lots at the park. One is right across the street from the park. The other parking lot is located beside the park.
