    This is a great park! I've seen many festivals taking place here. You can even catch the water taxi here to Locust Point , Fells Point, etc. It's like a bus/train line. You can catch it to one point then swith 'lines' to get to another point. It's great! Today I was here to walk the Waterfront Promenade. If you start from the Park and walk all the way to the Inner Harbor. I'm not sure exactly how long the full trail is. I've seen 7+ miles. Today I walked 4 (down & back). There's a portion that's blocked for repairs but you can walk down the othe street and pick it up on the other side. You'll find shops along the walk, restaurants, etc. It's nice to walk along the water like that. The park itself seems to be a place where people also go to chill. There was a couple having a picnic, a few sitting on the benches in conversation, and others waiting for the water taxi. It's a nice outdoor space! They also have an EV charger if you drive an electric vehicle.

    This park is substantively removed from anything that might be called Inner Harbor, but offers some interesting opportunities to view the fort and some of this ships coming through the waterway. It has a Korean War Memorial, some seating, and some pretty sketchy bathrooms, which I guess are better than nothing. One can walk continuously in either direction, and a dock for the water taxi which I've never used is at the waterside. The immediate area around the park had plenty to offer.

    In addition to the word "Zoom", I'd like to add "picnics" to my 2020 vernacular. I don't think I've ever gone on as many picnics - heck, even said the word picnic - as many times as I have this year. Canton Waterfront Park is the perfect location for a socially-distanced one. There is plenty of green open space, trees for shade, and benches. You get great views of the water, dog watching, and just some good fresh air. You'll see people reading, fishing, running, recording vlogs (yep! lol), just about anything. We were able to easily grab street parking mid-day Sunday. It's hard to wrap my head around summer being over, but that means we'll just have some cool early-fall days to enjoy the outside.

    While not the largest park in the area, Canton Waterfront Park is a great little park! It has access to the waterfront promenade and great views of the harbor. If you're in the area, include it in your walk or run!

    Super villain race at the park!! Cloudy day

    You want a relaxing park with great views...???!!!?? Well look no further! This park has such amazing sun sets. There are several benches for you to take a moment and just allow it all to sink in. You will See a good amount of people biking, running or walking. The first time I was here due to a rave being held here. It was so lovely and open. While running through the area I realized there are some great areas to go and grab some food, there's plenty of areas to look at the water, and as I said before areas just to sit and relax. The landscape looks nice and the trash is very minimal, which is so nice especially for appeal but also because some people do bring their dogs. It's a switch of pace from all the fast moving of downtown. This is such a lovely park and I think if you need somewhere to just relax m, this is truly somewhere I would recommend!!

    I was here for the VIP Baltimore Seafood Festival. I have to say we started off on the wrong track. This event started at 12 noon. We didn't arrive till around 1:15 or so. They still had a line which moved pretty fast. If you were VIP you received a bracelet. They had a tent that looked like any other white tent towards the back so that wasn't saying much. You received a glass and a swag bag and a ticket for your crabs from Captain James. Which was good crabs but the lady there was rude! She kept screaming out VIP Only!! So when l showed her my bracelet she looked at me like l was crazy and said l need tickets only . step to the side. How rude! They need to teach those volunteers some manners. If she was a volunteer. If it was only for VIP then that's where they should have been located. Then l wouldn't have to tote a half of dozen crabs back to the VIP tent. I'm just saying.. The crabs were good though despite that. The unlimited drinks was also good and refreshing. Which was located near the VIP tent. I think they should have offered a separate porta potty for VIP but that wasn't an option. We stood in the same long line as others. I think the maryland seafood festival in Annapolis Md is way more organized than this one. They still have some things to figure out. Overall l gave it three stars because l did enjoy myself and the weather was great. With a beautiful view of the Water.

    Visited for the fleet week airshow which was free and awesome. Very nice waterfront park. I saw only one truck which sold ice cream and water and he was quite busy with the airshow crowds. There are a few nearby restaurants which could be used for takeout and taken to the park. There are bathroom facilities but very small with only 2 stalls. Huge lines formed at the airshow but 2 is probably fine for everyday use. Overall a very nice tree lined, waterfront park with great parking.

    This is probably one of my favorite places in the city. Im honestly surprised it took me this long to write the review. In every city i live i like to find my special place that i go to think, to journal, to just kind of get away from the day and for Baltimore City this is it! its serene since its near the water, generally quiet and when there isnt an event held here i can always set up a good seat in the shade to read a good book or get caught up on podcast. The events here are always great, from the festivals to the yoga to the first thursdays there is something going on thats worth going to.

    Baltimore is so pretty! Catch great sunsets from here

    This was my second time on this side of the harbor! I came for Baltimore Seafood Festival and Canton Waterfront Park is beautiful. Some of the best sunsets I've ever seen in the city were from here. The salmon colored skies meet the blue (well kinda green-ha) water of the Baltimore Harbor. What a nice place to come and get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. I always see people running and biking here. It's also near a bunch of restaurants in canton. On a perfect night, I'd grab food nearby and walk along the water to wind down the night. Actually, I'm going to do that soon while the weather is still nice. Overall, a beautiful place to see the city and to just relax the mind.

    If you are in the Canton Area and you need a vacation from life... this is the place to go. It offers a good array of open space, benches, and tree shade during the hot Baltimore summers. Most days you can find plenty of people walking their dogs, playing with their children, taking the water taxi or just lounging around. Also the park has part of the waterfront walking/running trail, which is great. Within the park is the MD Korean War Memorial, which is neat to walk around. You will see random people fishing or whatnot, no one has bothered me to date and the park is not perfectly maintained but its not like you are sitting in trash... its a public park in Bmore... but these should not deter anyone. Lastly, the park is decently lit at night time, so if you are walking or running through, you can without having to wear night vision goggles. Overall, I love Canton Waterfront park, it offers alot of greenery, shade and water front views! Can't beat it!! So grab your picnic basket and sun glasses... Canton Waterfront Park is your staycation destination!!

    Really a gem of Charm City, Pop Up Yoga Baltimore and lululemon hosted one of the coolest Yoga sessions for International Day of Yoga on one of the freshest lawn in Baltimore on the first day of Summer. Did you know? Canton Water Taxi station has a station stop on a pier in Canton Waterfront Park.

    Again, I find this entry on Yelp a little strange to be on here but I guess Yelp will one day be all encompassing. This would never strike me as a destination spot unless perhaps you come to visit the Maryland Korean War Memorial or use the water taxi to go to the harbor. However, a lot of people come here to exercise their dogs, fish and crab in the harbor, and lounge and sunbathe. At night, I find the darkness a bit intimidating but I'm sure it is safe enough.

Me and my friends made a quick stop on the way home from brunch in the Cross Keys area, and the day was perfect for it. The park was alive with families and their furry friends just having small picnics and taking in the scenery. If you're not familiar with Sherwood Garden's, it's a privately owned community park in the Guilford section of Baltimore City. It's been famous for its annual tulip since the 1920's by John Sherwood, whose home bordered the park. To this day up to 70000 tulips are planted annually along with other flowers such as magnolias and dogwoods to name a few. Best time to visit is always towards the end of April and beginning of May. Although a private park, the public is always invited to stroll at your leisure throughout the grounds. The ongoing displays are 100% privately funded and depends entirely on contributions to fulfill its mission of providing a natural place for recreation for the community and related education.

There is no start or end, so just park on one of the surrounding streets and walk over. We were there the third weekend in April, and while the tulips were definitely past their peak, and many were completely gone, there were plenty of flower beds of tulips still blooming. Plus, almost all of the azaleas were blooming. I loved that they had so many different colored tulips and azaleas. They did different combination of colors in all the different flower beds, so we ended up seeing some surprisingly beautiful displays, even with some tulips no longer blooming. We weren't there very long because it was cold out, but this would be a great spot for engagement pictures or a picnic.

Notably, the parking lot requires an advance reservation on peak dates, and this policy has been expanded to cover more dates due to the pandemic lockdown pushing people to spend their days outdoors. The trail is a short loop to the falls. Great Falls this isn't, but it's significant enough to generate a nice spray. A rather upset-looking fish flopped down shallow water as I approached. Upstream of the falls was a challenge. Few fords were viable, perhaps owing to heavy rain, and signs suggesting the area was blocked off were ignored by expeditions looking for better crossings. I made it across the stream and back, but I did get a little wet. The scenery isn't worth a long drive on its own, but paired with the other local park sites, it makes for good viewing, and in particular this space with its parking limitations can't get too crowded.
