An appropriately nicknamed, slightly hidden park in the area.

Tall Slides Playground is really a hidden gem in Baltimore. Located in Druid Hill Park, near the zoo, the park is officially named the Arthur F. Fedeli Jr. Memorial Playground, but it’s easy to see how it got its unofficial name. The play structure features tons of great options for climbing, running, and, of course, sliding.

The playground does not feature any special toddler equipment and the main play structure is fairly large. I would recommend this playground for adventurous preschoolers and older. However, Druid Hill Park does feature a number of paved paths that are perfect for taking a toddler on a walk, either by foot or stroller!

The playground is located on Grove Road, within Druid Hill Park. Since there are no house numbers within the park, the easiest way to find it is to search “Tall Slides Park” in Google Maps and navigate using GPS.  You’ll find plenty of free places to park along the road near the playground. There are plenty of benches as well as a pavilion that has picnic tables just across from the playground.

Listed address is closeby - the City of Baltimore's Druid Hill Recreation Park Maintenance building.
