  3. Hello,
    I recently started walking around the Stansbury pond. Does anyone know the exact distance of the trail around the pond?

  4. HI: I am wondering if there is a mailing list with events and things of that nature for this park. Thanks.

  5. Use this website to measure your walk around the quarry, or anywhere actually.

  6. Hi, I live right across the street from Stansbury Pond. What a great place to spend some time with family. I have seen lots of changes over the past 50years. Balto. county,keep up the good work. Thanks

  7. Patricia J, please call me…im from ADbutus, MD, but have major concerns regarding dundalks Stansbury pond/quarry, and could use some memories & advice of a long time resident of that area…thank you & looking forward to hearing from you…tracey…410-247-5888…diamond414x@aol.com

  8. I used hang out in that park in the 70’s as a teen. We ad many good times then, but the Park wasn’t as nice then as it is today.

    I had a chance to just drive by my ol’ stomping grounds when visiting mom. Boy – I realized what great place Dundalk really is.

    I no longer live there, but my mom and I visit regularly. Things are looking great there, BUT i hope the residents there keep the pressure on te local politicians to keep the place Safe.

    And remember – The number one code of conduct in the Outdoors is: LEAVE NO TRACE…!
    Please keep our Parks clean…..!!!!
    Hail Dundalk.!
