Dipski Park in Canton, Baltimore

Dipski Park is a small but fun playground near the Canton waterfront. We stumbled upon the neighborhood park by accident, but will definitely be coming back when we’re in the neighborhood. 

The park has been there for decades but has recently gotten a facelift that includes unique climbing equipment, slides, and swings. We arrived in the winter and were surprised to find that the park had an (empty) wading pool. After asking around, we were informed that the wading pool is no longer filled in the summer and that plans to remove it are in the works. (Regardless, the kids had a great time running back and forth in the empty basin!)

There is also a pavilion area that provides shade to a paved area beneath it. The space is a perfect spot to create some sidewalk chalk art or just to cool off on a sunny day. The park does not offer picnic tables or bathrooms but the entire area is fenced in so that little ones can’t wander. 

While Dipski doesn’t compete in size with local favorites like Patterson Park, it’s a great little spot to let the kids burn some energy when you’re in the neighborhood!
