This is still my favorite of all the Maryland Y's. I'll confess that I've been away for a while…read more Gyms are always crowded in January, so I just stay away. But I'm back, and they have new equipment! Yay! I didn't feel like anything was wrong (except for the SkiErg that keeps breaking. I wish they'd get a Concept2 version), but I came back to True equipment. Now there are two seated row machines and two lat pull-downs. The dip machine is a standalone machine by itself. They also added a glute builder machine. It's not a version I've used before, but it'll do. Lastly, I always finish with time in the sauna. It's always nice & hot.

I love this Y! Wonderful, clean machines and comfortable environment with plenty of fans.read more

It is a nice slick floor, the best floor for busting out dance moves. We were shake n baking. They accept credit cards for the rink and serve pizza, snacks, hot dogs, fries, and other food. Surprisingly, there were a lot of good skaters, better than the average that I have seen, which made it more fun!!! I will definitely be back for the Sunday adult night! Btw the DJ was one of the best hip hop DJs I have experienced at a roller rink ever and I have been to several rinks across the country. We parked on the street right out front and there was no problem. Nice family and kids all around.

Everyone agreed that the flow from room to room was great because as soon as the kids would wind down from one area it was time to switch. Everyone loved the pizza. Drink pitchers were filled promptly. They even cut that cake for us... we literally didn't have to think about anything and could focus on the kids. The staff even packaged up the left over pizza without us asking. It was a great experience and our son has already asked for his party to be there again.

In the space given we were able to fit 17 tables 1 candy table 4 tables for food 1 game table 1 table for the expecting parents 10 tables for the guest to sit There was a stage were the DJ set up and the gifts were lined along the stage. There was plenty of parking on the side of the building as well as where the playground is. If the weather was nicer the kids would be able to run around outside as well. I definitely recommend this place for your next event, whether it be a birthday party, baby shower or any other family event you wont he disappointed.

First off, I love the fact that a facility like this exists. They offer pickleball, indoor soccer,…read moretennis, lacrosse and indoor walking paths. Especially in winter, a place like this is a godsend. That being said, the Northeast Regional Recreation Center isn't in the best shape, at least the portion I've visited. My son spent the winter playing indoor soccer here. The nets and goals seem like they have seen better days. The turf did appear to be fine. Another issue with this rec center is the parking. If you get here early or play the first round of games, you are rewarded with parking. Otherwise it is really hit or miss. There is a lot of waiting in lines and being patient while vehicles try to turn around in cramped spaces (only one way in and out of the parking lot). Most of the time we wound up parking at the shopping center and trudging through the ice and snow and darkness to our games. Ultimately, I'm glad there is a place for indoor soccer (and indoor walking which I would do during his games) but I have definitely been to nicer rec centers and hope this one can be updated.

I love tulips, so when I read about this place, I couldn't wait to visit. It's located as the…read morecenter of an expensive Baltimore block, surrounded by million dollar homes. There is no start or end, so just park on one of the surrounding streets and walk over. We were there the third weekend in April, and while the tulips were definitely past their peak, and many were completely gone, there were plenty of flower beds of tulips still blooming. Plus, almost all of the azaleas were blooming. I loved that they had so many different colored tulips and azaleas. They did different combination of colors in all the different flower beds, so we ended up seeing some surprisingly beautiful displays, even with some tulips no longer blooming. We weren't there very long because it was cold out, but this would be a great spot for engagement pictures or a picnic.

Sherwood Gardens is a privately owned community park in the Guilford neighborhood of Baltimore. A…read morenonprofit raises money for the gardens' maintenance and the spring planting. Although it's a privately owned park, the gardens are open to the public, with street parking on all sides. Up to 70,000 tulip bulbs are planted annually along with other spring flowering bulbs. The gardens are charming but as with anything spring-related, spring is shorter and shorter and less and less predictable. Use your best judgment to get the photos you see here. This spring, we had a mid-April heat wave and by this past Saturday, the tulips were already looking quite rough and the daffodils were gone altogether. For the best blooms and pictures, pay attention to the weather. The spring flowers were most beautiful early in April this year and the heat wave cut their beauty a bit short this year. When we visited on Saturday, it was certainly still a lovely place for a walk, and we did see plenty of people taking pictures and enjoying the gardens. However, it wasn't as beautiful by then as we might have expected for early April. A lovely little park. You can take a walk, read a book, take photos, enjoy a picnic... Certainly take advantage if you live in or are visiting this area of North Baltimore - especially in those weeks of the years when the tulips are in full strength and beauty!
