Covid-friendly places to kill time in Ellicott City/Columbia?

[Anonymous]

DC has a sports tournament this weekend near Ellicott City. We have about two hours in between games on Saturday (and no telling for Sunday) and would love to find a place to eat and get out of the sun for a bit. Normally, we’d make a reservation for the whole team at a restaurant, but...

If you know of a specific park, picnic shelter, takeout restaurant, etc. that might help us with our planning, I’d really appreciate it!

Thank you for the suggestions! The ice cream sounds especially appealing.

The Tire Park at Patapsco State Park.

It's really shady in that part of Patapsco State Park, thus cooler. Farmhouse Greens in Catonsville on Fredrick Road isn't too far from there. I like their food a lot.

Scoop and Paddle in Clarksville - amazing ice cream in a cool little shopping area with stuff to do outside and eclectic food stalls nearby.
