Baltimore City Recreation & Parks

Baltimore City Recreation & Parks is looking for a good storyteller.

This week Baltimore City Recreation & Parks had the pleasure of re-dedicating a playground in Northwest #Baltimore for the longest-serving member of the Baltimore City Council, Councilwoman Rochelle "Rikki" Spector. Councilwoman Spector delivered exemplary constituent service for nearly 40 years and remains dedicated to her beloved Charm City. The consummate leader, Councilwoman Spector was present to receive her well-deserved honors at Northwest Park, in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Baltimore. #parks #playgrounds #recreation #parksandrecreation #recreationandparks https://lnkd.in/gWk2i5-y

Baltimore continues to succeed due to collaborations across the city--among city leaders, community leaders, and city agencies. The recent dedication of the Phyllis Gilmore Playground & Pavilion results from leaders valuing the connection between public safety and recreational open spaces. Ms. Gilmore always champions her community, youth, public safety, and recreational facilities, and she recognizes how partnerships will elevate her community. Sgt. Amy Streett of the Baltimore Police Department recommended that Ms. Gilmore's work be celebrated with the naming of Alhambra Park's playground and pavilion. #Baltimore #parks #community #playgrounds #publicpolicy #communitypolicing #publicsafety #youth https://lnkd.in/e3hyVB5C

Baltimore City Recreation & Parks celebrated this year's Veterans Day in a very special way. It's not every day that our agency has the opportunity to recreate a meaningful historical event from 1919 with our tree-planting operations. Moreover, celebrating with such impactful organizations as the #GoldStarMothers and the #BoyScouts is truly an honor. This story, broadcast on Baltimore's WMAR-TV, captures a very unique Veterans Day commemoration at our Druid Hill Park. https://lnkd.in/er-R5WJi

Over the last two years, Baltimore City Recreation & Parks has been very active in upgrading playgrounds throughout the city. This stems from Mayor Brandon Scott's allocation of $41 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for public spaces and parks, of which $5.5 million was earmarked for upgrading playgrounds. Some of these playgrounds had not been updated in decades so this is a generational investment in Baltimore's youth. Today, we spotlight Briscoe Park's recent renovation and re-opening, including a playground and basketball court. The neighborhood's kids pitched in with a clean-up initiative, which underscores the civic-community collaboration. The result is a true renaissance for Briscoe Park.

Parks are great open spaces to unite different people and celebrate as one community. One of Baltimore's most iconic parks, Patterson Park, is the site of a 25-year Halloween tradition in Baltimore. Before joining Baltimore City Recreation & Parks, our Chief of Community Engagement Tim Almaguer, worked with our Friends of Patterson Park community-based organization. It was there where he launched "The Great Halloween Lantern Parade." You can learn more about this Baltimore Halloween event in Baltimore Magazine. #Baltimore #Halloween #parksandrecreation #parks #recreationandparks https://lnkd.in/gDE8ixs9
