Roosevelt Park: Skate Park & Swimming in Hampden Neighborhood
Roosevelt Park has been the jewel of the Hampden neighborhood since its creation over a century ago. Today, the park encompasses almost 19 acres of land with a huge variety of recreational options.
The park features a small but well maintained playground. The equipment is most suitable for older children (ages 4 and up) but younger ones could enjoy the various ladders and slides with some adult supervision. The playground does feature fencing to keep little ones from wandering off, though!
Roosevelt Park is also home to an 11,000-square-foot paved skate park, making it an ideal destination for Baltimore skateboarding, rollerblading and BMX riding population. If skating isn’t your thing, the park also has baseball diamonds, athletic fields, and basketball courts. The paved paths throughout the park also make it a great spot for stroller running, scootering, or biking.
As if this wasn’t enough, the park also features fantastic swimming facilities. Adults will enjoy the large main pool and kids will delight in the wading pool and splash area. The swimming area features an award-winning a pool house that was completely re-done in 2009.
If you’re not familiar with the Hampden neighborhood you’ll also want to make sure you allow plenty of time to explore the area. The main strip (known as “The Avenue” to locals) is chock-full of cute shops and fabulous restaurants.
With everything it has to offer, it’s easy to see why this park is considered a neighborhood favorite. If you’re looking for a great way to spend a day in Baltimore, head on down to Roosevelt Park.
