It is across the street from the HIstoric Leadenhall Baptist Church. Various activities such as lacrosse, football, soccer, yoga, and other after school activities are offered here. There is a playground for the younger kids and cement chess tables. If you just want to sit and/or read a book, there are benches and a few tables in the shade. A variety of birds can be found. Hours of Operation: Fall/Winter/Spring: 1-9 p.m. Summer: 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

We decided to take the kiddies to this park for an outing. Its always said to be nice. The kids…read morewere very rude and not nice. The pavillion close had a party and the adults were smoking weed and using profanity. Kids were not friendly to little kids. There were several 2/3 yr olds but the kids 10 and older were very wild and knocking them over. There were kids riding bikes on the playground into children. They were old enough to know better and the parents knew better. I saw a boy thrust kick a 4yr lil girl in her back as she was adjusting to get off the bottom of the slide and yelled MOVE to her. Come to find out they were not together. Her Dad was very upset and so dis another Dad see it and was alarmed and said something. I would suggest to go elsewhere with your kids unless you want to box it out with parents or kids. Save the kiddies from being hurt. Its nice but the traffic it brings in isnt a mix.

My daughter loves coming to the playground and frequently asked to go to the new Ravens park as she calls it. The playground has so many fun things for the kids to do. There are also a few pavilions to use for gatherings. There are a few Port A Potty available and full restrooms near the football fields. There is also a walking trail near the pavilions near the baseball fields. There is typically an Ice Cream Truck stationed in the parking lot especially on hot days. Parking is spacious and plentiful. Will definitely return and I love the newly added playground.

The actual views are of a freeway and not a river, but there is still plenty to draw one to this park.

Small but convenient park located in the Riverside/Fed Hill neighborhood. Is it my favorite park in…read moreBaltimore? No, but I can understand the draw if you have kids or a dog. There's about a one mile loop that circles the park along with a playground, swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a soccer field. It's actually quite impressive all they managed to fit into such a small space. Definitely a great spot for sports or a quick walk. When I come to a park, I'm usually hoping for a peaceful stroll but depending on the time of day you're at Riverside Park, it will likely be full of energy and excitable children hanging out after school. Will I be in a rush to come back? No, probably not but I'm glad to see such a useful, public green space in the community.

Yet another example of a nice hidden oasis in the city. This park was endowed by a citizen on his…read morepassing and is therefore open to the public all year round. There is a huge covered pavilion. It doesn't have its own picnic tables but it does have a lot of space. There is a full jungle gym with two slides and climbing area, a swing set (with toddler and big kid swings), and a separate climbing area. All of these areas have the recycled tire rubber mulch. The whole park area is large and fully-fenced. Unfortunately there is only rubber mulch in the playground equipment areas and the rest is cement, causing a few boo boos with running toddlers. Our only other issue with this park is that there is a baby pool that is no longer filled with water. While it can be fun to kick a ball around inside, it can also be a fall hazard with the littles. Overall though it's a really nice park with good security and not too close to any busy streets. Definitely worth stopping by to make new friends.

The swings here are nice. My son liked using them. The playground set is new and the slide is fun…read more The problem here is that it shares space with an emptied pool and the the blacktop is unevenly distributed. It is not a playground where you can park and eat a lunch and let your child play at their leisure. But, if your child really wants to play and you live on the city side of the Inner Harbor, this is a good option.

Favorite low key park. It features 2 playgrounds, a baseball field, 2 pavilions, a ton of…read morePicnic tables, and a wooded trail. The trail could use some maintenance but it's a nice getaway from the city. The trail features large rocks (obviously) and a small stream. There are a few shallow bodies of water that along the trail that is perfect for little ones to play in the stream (at your own risk). It's very relaxing for relaxing in nature, deep breathing or reading a book. The park does have a restroom and 1 pavilion appears to have a grill. There is plenty of parking for a intimate event or family gathering. Overall, this is a cute little park that offers nature close to the city. Fyi: the rocks can be slippery when wet so wear sturdy shoes or hiking sandals.

For this reason, it feels very safe since there are houses and people around not too far from the middle of this park. Very good parking lot and clear map when you enter. Playgrounds and covered pavilion/picnic areas too! Even though it is small, there are a lot of trail options, you can mix and match them and make it as short or long as you want. Last time I was there I did a mixture of the inner and outer trails and it was just under 2 miles. The trails are not marked well, they are a little confusing and I get turned around every time I go there, and I am pretty good with directions! Make sure to take a picture of the map before you enter! Overall it is a very easy hike though, not a lot of steep inclines. The best part about it though is the water. It is known for the rocks obviously and small waterfalls. It is very peaceful and pretty. Someone made chairs out of tree branches at one point in the trail, that was kind of cool!
