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.
