About
The historic and famed Bethlehem Steel Mill in Sparrows Point is now a 21-acre waterview park site, located at 1900 Wharf Road in Baltimore, thanks to Tradepoint Atlantic’s generous donation.
This project was the first entirely new park built by the Department of Recreation and Parks in six years, and fills a longstanding recreational gap in the Edgemere-Sparrows Point area.
Park Highlights
The park includes:
- 16,000 square-foot community center with double court gym, two community-accessible activity rooms and concessions area
- Full-size synthetic turf field with LED lighting
- 10,000 square foot playground
- ADA accessible fishing pier and kayak launch
- Scenic walking path
