Rosaryville State Park is a Maryland state park in Prince George's County, southeast of Joint Base Andrews. It covers about 1,227 acres and is run as a day-use park, so visitors arrive, use its trails and picnic areas, and leave before closing. Its trail network serves hikers, cyclists, and equestrians. The park also contains the restored Mount Airy Mansion, a historic house that was once used as an event facility.
