Very close to Kings Park and what we call the dog park which I think is actually named Bella Grove, right on the corner of Green St and Bond St. "

Location and easy access to food and entertainment is important and Westminster provides that as well as my current location...however I miss my hometown of Frederick because there are more opportunities for children as far as community sports and activities.
