Snowden River Parkway runs from Route 100 on the one end to - - essentially - - Broken Land Parkway on the other. Its name was “inspired by the original name of the Patuxent River's Little Branch, Snowden's River of Patuxent, as shown on the original land grant to Richard Snowden in 1736.” (See Autumn Walk.)
You can probably learn more in the following article, but, I’m no longer a Sun subscriber.
“Columbia has Snowden River Parkway. Where is Snowden River?” Community Q, Baltimore Sun, 2005
Today I have three things for you from Snowden River Parkway.
1. Did you know that Columbia has a squash academy? We do. It’s located at 9315 Snowden River Parkway. I didn’t know squash was all that popular here. If squash isn’t your thing, they also have badminton.
2. Lincoln Tech (9325 Snowden River Parkway) now trains students on Teslas. In December they celebrated their inaugural class of Tesla technicians wth a speech from Tony Bridges, the Assistant Secretary for Transportation Equity and Engagement at the Maryland Department of Transportation.
3. Local folks online are concerned about poor lighting after dark at Snowden Square Shopping Center. That’s the one with DSW, Home Goods, etc. I can’t remember the last time I was over there after dark so I don’t have an educated opinion. Some folks maintain it has been rather dark over there for quite some time. It was hard for me to tell if the commenters were trying to convey a feeling that poor lighting made it less safe or if they already felt it was an unsafe area and therefore ought to be more brightly lit.
What do you think? Snowden Square Shopping Center is managed by the Segall Group. Should someone reach out to them with concerns?
Do you have any other current events concerning Snowden River Parkway?
