Managing Sandy Point Traffic

Sandy Point State Park Update:

The BCC meets regularly with the AAC Police. The AACP has again agreed to staff the E. College Parkway service road near Sandy Point State Park (SPSP) with 4 officers plus a supervisor every weekend from June through Labor Day. 

Police shifts run from 8:00AM to 4:00PM except on the 3 major summer holiday weekends when their shift starts early – at 5:00AM and ends at 4:00PM. The DNR police and Park Rangers also provide support to ensure that all reservation holders for SPSP are directed to their parking location. This operation is working well as the parking lot fills up at about 10:00AM and excess vehicles are sent West bound on Rte #50/301 to wait until the Park reopens at 4:00PM. Only reservation holders are allowed to enter during the 10 AM closure and 4:00 reopening. 

Officers also are driving through Broadneck communities to clear out parked prospective Sandy Point attendees who try to locate a parking spot in our Communities until reopening time. If you have any problems with these ‘visitors’ please call the AAC Police at 410-222-8610 to request an assist from the AACP Officers on duty at the Park entrance.
