Pedestrian Trail Affected By Pond Project Near Centennial Park

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — The width of the pedestrian trail from Centennial Park's north entrance will be reduced during a construction project to repair two existing ponds north of Centennial Lake in Ellicott City. The project will start Feb. 17 and should wrap up late fall 2026.

The project calls for decommissioning a failed stormwater pond at the end of South Meadow Court, adjacent to Centennial Park, and repairing an old, deteriorating sediment pond within the park, located southeast of the South Meadow Court Pond.

During construction, the width of the existing pedestrian trail from the park's northern entrance to Centennial Lake will be reduced to allow construction access to the project site. While the project is not expected to impact the flow of vehicular traffic, signs will be posted in the area to notify residents of the construction, which will take place Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This project is partially funded through the Watershed Protection and Restoration Fund.
