Carroll Creek (Carroll Creek Linear Park)
Carroll Creek Linear Park runs between South Market and South Carroll Streets in downtown Frederick, built to host outdoor concerts, plays, school functions and city events. Any event serving beer, wine or alcohol needs a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission to the City Council, a process that takes at least 60 days, plus a one-day permit from the county liquor board if alcohol is sold. Every event must also keep one ADA compliant path of pedestrian access open along the creek.
