The lake, old field, woodland and wetland ecosystems that make up
Centennial Park are home to abundant wildlife. Look for great blue
herons, white cattle egrets and little green herons stalking
minnows among the reeds. Swallows, turkey vultures and hawks soar
overhead, and kingfishers dive into the lake for fish. In summer,
turtles sun themselves on logs and rocks. Cottontail rabbits nibble
on grass at dawn and dusk. Red fox have been known to visit.
The park is comprised of 325 acres, open from 7 a.m. to dusk or
as posted. Leashed pets are allowed in the park but not in picnic,
playground or sports areas. Howard County law requires owners to
clean up after their pets; Mutt-Mitt dispensers are located in the
park.
