Just for the Kids

Hancock Little League Baseball leagues are operated in town. Please visit our Organizations page for telephone contacts should you have a little leaguer who wants to Play Ball!

Explorer Post 38 is the only Explorer Post operating in our immediate area. Their Explorer speciality is Law Enforcement.

For kids only fishing, the Little Tonoloway Creek in Widmeyer Memorial Park (on Main Street) is stocked with rainbow trout every Spring by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. Trout fishing is restricted to only kids (or the blind). The stocking schedule can be found at http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/springstocktable.html

There's even something for the babies in Hancock. Every year the Hancock Lioness Club sponsors the Baby Contest as a part of the September Canal-Apple Days festival in Widmeyer Memorial Park. Get all the details about Canal-Apple Days at our Festivals link

The town is very kid-friendly. New playground equipment was added in 2004 for the Municipal Playground and Widmeyer Memorial Park.
