Carrie Murray Nature Center

Navigate to 1901 Ridgetop Road and the named Nature Center, not the broad Windsor Mill Road park address. The building is a distinct destination within the wooded park.

Use the small Nature Center arrival area on Ridgetop Road. Capacity and group-program traffic can vary, so confirm arrangements for a class, camp or large group before driving in.

The City describes year-round programs but does not publish dependable daily drop-in hours on the current page. Call 410-396-0808 or check the current program catalog before making building entry or a live-animal visit the purpose of the trip.

Building restroom access depends on the Nature Center being open for a program or public visit. Remote park trails do not provide a dependable substitute.

The park is free to enter, while camps, field trips, preschool, registered programs and special activities may require registration or a fee.

Use the exact Ridgetop Road facility address for the shortest developed approach. Contact the center for program-specific mobility, sensory or communication accommodations.

Do not bring pets into a live-animal education facility unless current rules explicitly allow them. Leashed-dog park access remains separate outside the center, and service animals follow applicable rules.

This is the strongest staffed family anchor in the park when a suitable program is running. Check age, registration, start time and indoor availability rather than assuming continuous drop-in exhibits.

The Nature Center is program-led, not an always-open visitor center. Confirm the exact activity before crossing the park, especially for live animals, restrooms or indoor shelter.

MTA buses reach several surrounding neighborhoods, while the Gwynns Falls Trail connects by bicycle and foot. Service does not eliminate long distances inside the park.
