Worcester County parks offer residents and visitors plenty of family friendly places to recreate this summer and the whole year round. We invite you to spend some time exploring these natural wonders. From a leisurely picnic next to the bay at Isle of Wight Park to a day of baseball at the Northern Worcester Athletic Complex, Worcester County provides those of all ages 883 acres of scenic parklands to explore.
Homer Gudelsky Park, a one-acre stretch of bayside beach in West Ocean City, overlooks Ocean City and attracts more than just land dwellers. Those of all ages are sure to be delighted by the aquatic life that comes ashore on this beach in the spring, particularly the starfish! If you happen to see that one of these little creatures has been tossed ashore by the waves, be sure to follow the advice of the anonymous author of The Starfish Poem and throw it back. Named for an area philanthropist whose family has long supported the community, Homer Gudelsky Park has been a favorite among locals for decades.
West Ocean City is graced with a second park as well, the Herring Creek Nature Park, a 44-acre wildlife sanctuary located on Keyser Point Road. This park, which includes manicured lawns and natural woodlands, and trails surrounding a picturesque pond, has provided passive recreation to the surrounding community since 1998. It’s a great place to exercise, play or just relax and enjoy nature.
