NOTTINGHAM, MD—Baltimore County Councilman David Marks on Thursday announced that work is set to begin on Perry Hall’s newest park.

In April, the county will begin work on a 22-acre site along Gerst Road. This is the site of the former Bierman farm and Perry Hall Community Hall. Plans call for asbestos abatement, demolition of structures, and backfill and grading throughout April, weather permitting.

There are no definite plans for the park site, although a committee Councilman Marks established in 2022 recommended relatively light uses.

Councilman Marks’ office worked with County Executive Johnny Olszewski and state legislators to acquire the property.

“I would like to thank these partners, the Perry Hall Improvement Association, and especially the Bierman family which decided to help preserve this property as a legacy,” said Councilman Marks on Thursday.
