Austin G.

If you follow Carroll Creek Park west, you'll hit a large urban park called Baker Park. At first glance, it seems small, but it extends north hitting the oldest building still standing in Frederick (the Schifferstadt Architectural Museum). The park itself offers a lot from several playgrounds, a bell tower that chimes throughout the day, a bandshell, a lake, picnic tables, a pool, courts. It pretty much has anything you need to enjoy the outdoors. Our toddler loved the playground right next to the Frederick Armory. It has swings, several slides and climbing areas.

A friend and I explored Baker Park during a visit to Frederick a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed strolling through the park and catching up. The park isn't huge, but it's large enough for a decent length walk on a pretty day! It's also really pretty! Definitely check it out if you want to stretch your legs in a pretty urban park!

Bell carillon

Frederick is a cool town about an hour west of Baltimore. We visited recently for an all too brief stay (24 hours). Start at the Visitor's Center at 151 S. East Street. Staff there are very helpful. Get a brochure with map and go on a walking tour around town. Baker Park is number 8 (of 25 stops) on the walking tour. It is on the west side of town and is 44 acres in size. The Joseph Dill Baker carillon was erected in 1941 to honor the man who gave the land to create this park. The 70 foot high tower holds 49 bells that ring automatically every 15 minutes. There are recitals by carilloners on Sundays. There are lots of other things to do in the park: sports, concerts in bandshell, or simply stroll.

The green space adjacent to downtown Frederick offers a pretty-if artificial-waterway, a variety of sporting facilities, and plenty of places to sit and chill. Facilities are limited, and it's not a good place to look for a bathroom or water, which is a pain. It is a good area to park (2 hours on most of the neighboring streets) rather than drive on crowded Market Street and pay for a garage. It's also a good place to stop and eat.

This park runs parallel to Carroll Creek with a walking trail beside the creek. At the start of the park is a small reservoir with waterfalls, careful there's a sharp drown in the trail. There's a bell tower in the center of the park that rings. Further back the creek becomes more desolate and overgrown. There's a small suspended bridge that provides great views of the creek. The park has your usual offerings such as a playground and picnic pavilions. There was pool that didn't appear to be open despite being July. Maybe because of the thunderstorm that came through.

I went to this park a lot as a child. It has changed some but still feels like the same old comfortable strolling zone.

The area by the bell tower and the armory is great for playing soccer, frisbee, or kickball with a group of friends.
