exercise you could also visit one of the local golf courses or swimming pools or check out a local recreation group.
There are also many other smaller community parks located
in Catonsville along with other recreation activites. For you're covienience they are broken down along with various other recreation information
under the Parks and Recreation section.
Perhaps however you're not the outdoors type, if this is the case your first inclination might be
one of the most typical means of entertainment, catching a movie. Two major theatres service
Catonsville and showtimes and other information are on the Movie Theatre Listings page.
If movies aren't you're thing you could also check out the Pullen Museum or the Banneker Museum
for a more historical perspective. However, don't forget there are a variety of local shops in the "village" along Frederick Road
as well a plethora of businesses to patronize along the Route 40 corridor of Catonsville.

If you're in the mood to check out the area music scene, you're in luck because Baltimore is overflowing with local 'hangouts' where you can check out many of the up-and-coming local bands or even participate in a Karaoke show. For the more discerning taste there are also many incredible concerts to enjoy. The opportunities don't stop there because Baltimore is also rich with play and theatre productions, museums, and more.
If your looking for more action you could head downtown to Baltimore and join thousands of screaming fans at one of the many area sports events or you could even go duckpin bowling. If sports aren't your thing, no problem!
