Trick or Treat
The festivity continues in Roland Park on Halloween evening when the Roland Park Civic League once again teams up with the RP Presbyterian Church as we host a trick or treat station on Upland on Halloween evening from 6 to 8PM. We will have plenty of candy including dairy, egg, and nut free options along with warm cider to keep the Halloween revelers and their parents sustained! You might even see your RPCL president in a kilt!
Saturday, October 5, 11:30am-12:30pm-gather just north of the Oakdale entrance.
The Roland Park Community Foundation invites Stony Run walkers and neighbors to hear ideas, examine plans, and ask questions about coming improvements to the Stony Run Oakdale Meadow area in implementation of the Upper Stony Run Strategic Plan. Tom McGilloway, principal at design firm Mahan Rykiel, will be on site to present proposed strategies to define the pathway, divert excess water, and add plantings — all with the goal of making a walk along Stony Run a less muddy and more pleasurable experience. Following the presentation, Tom will be taking questions.
Afterwards, walk south along Stony Run path to Linkwood Park, where Friends of Stony Run hosts The Urban Bird Festival, beginning at 1pm.
Come help us celebrate in our beloved annual Roland Park 4th of July Parade, which is now in its 22nd year. The festivities will begin at 10 am on Thursday, July 4th with a reading from the Declaration of Independence on the library steps. The parade will start in front of the library and proceed south down Roland Avenue, led by our local fire truck to the intersection at Upland Road. There will be ice pops for everyone and, if history is a guide, the firefighters will hook up a hose to the hydrant to cool us all down. The Roland Park Presbyterian Church will once again open its doors to offer bathrooms, water and air conditioning for those who need to cool down. Please join us in your brightest and boldest red, white and blue regalia, and be sure to decorate your bikes, strollers and pets!
