Greenbury Point

Planning a Visit to Greenbury Point? Here Is What You Should Know to Make Your Visit Safe and Enjoyable 

 
Greenbury Point, located at the mouth of Severn River in Anne Arundel County, is a Navy property managed by Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis as a mission-supportive natural resources conservation area. It has become a popular hiking destination for nature lovers, runners, walkers, and dog walkers. While the Navy allows public access to the conservation area when safe to do so, the area is also critical to the NSA Annapolis mission and can close anytime without prior notification.
 
Greenbury Point is currently open to the general public when the firearm ranges are not operational or other training events do not preclude public access.  The roads that many use recreationally are within the Surface Danger Zone for the firearms range at NSA Annapolis.  A Surface Danger Zone, or SDZ as it is more commonly known, is defined as “that portion of the land and the air above in which personnel and/or equipment may be endangered by ground weapons firing or demolition activities.”
 
NSA Annapolis Commanding Officer Capt. Homer Denius wants to remind visitors to keep safety in mind when planning to visit and enjoying the conservation area. 
 
“You can enjoy Greenbury Point, but for your safety, you need to adhere to the posted signage and warnings. Most importantly, gates, lights, and signage indicate when the gravel roads are closed to the public due to use of the firearms range; dogs must be on a leash while being walked, and there is limited parking on Greenbury Point. Please note cars parked outside of a marked parking spot will be ticketed and could be towed,” said Denius.
 
“Greenbury Point serves as a training hub for the U.S. Naval Academy, so the conservation area is frequently closed to accommodate our future leaders’ mission requirements,” said Zoe Johnson, NSA Annapolis Community Planning Liaison Officer. “Some of their training includes field operations, navigation drills, and physical fitness.”
 
Additionally, according to Johnson, some of the conservation area covering approximately 240 acres is reserved for military recreational use for service members and families, installation personnel, alumni, and retirees. 
 
“When we demolished the older facilities in the area, we converted the space for military and DoD civilian personnel recreational use,” said Johnson. “The marina, picnic grounds and guest cottages, currently being built, are for military and DoD civilian personnel use only.” 
 
“The general public is open to use the walking trails and access roads, but we want people to be safe when they visit the area,” added Johnson. “We take additional safety measures when the area is in use, especially when the firearms range is operational. It is imperative that people refrain from climbing or walking around the gates and fences when the trails or roads are closed.”  
 
“You can enjoy Greenbury Point, but for everyone’s safety, we want them to adhere to the posted signage and warnings,” said Denius.

CURRENT REGULATIONS FOR WALT DISNEY WORLD PARKS:

  1. Park attendance will be managed through the Disney Park Pass system, which guests will use to make theme park reservations.  To enter a Walt Disney World® theme park, both a park reservation AND valid admission for the same park on the same date are required for each person in the guest's party ages 3 and up. A park reservation must be made for each day of entry. For multi-day tickets, guests will be required to make a park reservation for each date of their visit.  Before purchasing a Ticket, the guest should check park availability by visiting disneyworld.disney.go.com/availability-calendar
  2. In addition, before purchasing a Ticket, guests should visit DisneyTravelTradeInfo.com/wdw for important information about park reopening, reservations, limitations on benefits, features, experiences and offerings, new safety measures, and other information.
  3. Immediately after purchasing a Ticket, the guest should visit https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/plan/my-disney-experience, create a profile (if the guest does not already have a profile), and using the Ticket or confirmation number, link the Ticket to the profile and then make park reservations. We highly recommend that guests make their park reservation as soon as they complete their Ticket purchase, as availability can change until the reservation is finalized.
  4. No refunds will be issued for any tickets purchased for Walt Disney World
Call 410-293-9200 or stop by 89 Bennion Rd. to arrange payment and plan your upcoming Disney vacation!
 

American Forces Travel

American Forces Travel? is a new Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) program arising from a joint-service initiative combining the efforts of each of the five branches of service (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy) and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Military Community & Family Policy.

Because the internet is now the most popular way to research and book travel, the Department of Defense chose to evolve its travel offering. MWR has contracted with a world leader in travel, Priceline®, to deliver high-value travel benefits to the U.S. military and DoD community. A key feature of American Forces Travel? is pricing. Priceline® negotiates rates that are typically only available alongside “hidden” features: you can book a hotel room on Priceline® at a discount, for example, if you do so without knowing the name of the hotel upfront. American Forces Travel? goes a step further. Those negotiated rates are available on American Forces Travel? with full visibility to eligible members. It’s the best of both worlds.

While there are many for-profit online leisure travel offerings marketed to the military today, American Forces Travel is the only official DoD online program. American Forces Travel? proceeds will support MWR programs for the military community.

American Forces Travel? provides free access to the site for those who have served their country at  AmericanForcesTravel.com
