One of Baltimore's best hidden gems. Beautiful old historic park tucked away with a nature center, mansion, both forest and paved trails and not to mention a beautiful stream with picturesque bridges. Walk the dog, jog, bike, roller blade, take pictures or go for a leisurely stroll
Dark history has plagued this park. Gave off a creepy vibe, but it's mostly because of the stuff I've read about it. Once there, one gets consumed by, both, it's man-made and natural beauty. A bit neglected, so hopefully the city invests some money into it.
Beautiful park. Lots of beautiful sights to see as you explore the full path by foot or by bicycle. Lots of little monuments or historical sites in the park to see as well. There area few geo caches around the park as well for you to find, some are tricky to find and some are easier as well like for kids. Highly recommend!
Great history hike! I read all the placards. Just recently learned that Baltimore wad HUGE textile producer and many factories were close by to this park. So kewl.
Depends on the area you go, but I enjoy the trails I found off Gwynn Falls trail
This park was a quiet jewel of a greenspace in southwest Baltimore City. It is not truly respected and valued by the residents who surround it. Nor does the City or City Councilman pay attention to its attributes. .It was a haven of adventures for Saturday morning hikes when I had my dogs.
My grandsons and I love leakin park. We hike the trails and forage the plants and mushrooms. We call it the outdoor classroom and playground all wrapped in one. My daughter loves it as well. She and I brisk walk the trails for exercise. That particular rock I named it meditation rock. It's elevated and peaceful. Leakin park is the best park in Baltimore.
This park is amazing for walks especially dog walks. It is very spacious and relaxing for picnics children to run around most of all family time. This is now my favorite park to come with my man and my doggy panda. He had an amazing time...I recommend this park to anybody. And it's very clean.
very nice oasis in the middle of the suburbs. The trails are more numerous and longer than I expected. The picnic area is very beautiful and has a garden which attracts butterflies. I didn't get to the waterfall this time. One word of caution: you cannot turn into the path which leads to the nature center and there are no signs for that until you get to the entrance road if you are driving from west to east. by that time, there is no way to turn around until you get to the bottom of the hill. There is parking in the Outward Bound area prior to the Nature Center road.
Nice park with decent bike and walking trails. I wish, we the community and city could keep it clean and prevent littering and dumping along the stream and roads.
