Neighborhood Park Investments

SUMMER 2021

South Baltimore Gateway Partnership, in coordination with Baltimore’s Department of Recreation and Parks, will invest $6 Million in South Baltimore neighborhood parks.

 

 

These new investments will include:

  • Carroll Park Recreation Center. After 20 years of being closed to public use, the Carroll Park Recreation Center will receive $2 million in funding, allowing for a complete overhaul and future reopening.

  • Florence Cummins Park. Approximately $1 million will be spent to implement the Florence Cummins Park Master Plan, which the Westport community worked on for more than a year. The Master Plan was also funded by SBGP.

  • Solo Gibbs Park. Approximately $1 million will be spent to support the Solo Gibbs Master Plan, including new athletic fields.

We were created to support community-driven change by bringing new resources to the table. Now, after years of advocating for park improvements, residents in Pigtown, Westport, and Sharp-Leadenhall will finally see their dreams become reality.

We know that investing in our City’s parks and green spaces is an issue of equity and a vital component to building a better, more livable Baltimore. The South Baltimore Gateway Partnership was created to fund exactly these types of community-driven projects.
