Apparently no children under the age of eight are allowed, although I did see a toddler in there. Your dog must wear a Baltimore city registration tag as well as their rabies tag which I can guarantee most of the dogs in there did not have on. Dogs must be over four months old to enter the dog park and if they're over nine months, they need to be neutered or spayed. I did not see any aggressive dogs. The other thing is they do not allow you to bring your own toys. There are water fountains for the dogs. There's also only street parking.

There's a curly slide, a many-featured climber-acrobatic structure, a sea serpent climber set, swings, a seesaw, a spinning saucer-seat, and other stuff i dont quite know names for.

We always opt for the light rail parking lot so our route is longer. The first thing I noticed about this one is that they do not have a designated small and large dog side like our regular park. Just one big open space. Fortunately all of the big dogs were well behaved and welcomed my sweet 14 lb Frenchie with open paws. The ground is mostly dirt and small patches of grass here and there. A lot of large rocks make great seating areas. On a sunny day, I didn't notice a lot of available shade. We brought our own water and bowl so I also don't know if any are provided. Overall this is a decent, fairly large dog park. Your dog just needs to feel up for walking a little before getting all it's zoomies and energy out off-leash. The keypad to get inside isn't as nice as the card scanner at our other park; I had to really be certain I was pressing the buttons down hard enough to accept the code.

Hopefully this helps! ****This information is not on the Parks and Rec site but apparently you can sign up at the Hamilton Branch library in person which might be easier for some people.*** There is little to no info about this park on the City website. The online form on the City's rec ticket site is very repetitive and strange--you have to list a ton of info in one line about each dogs' health/license then attach the dog license and rabies certifications which has the same exact info. The licenses and rabies certification for multiple dogs have to be on one page (one page for all rabies, one for all licenses) which might require you to have a printer and/or scanner depending on your vet's record style. Most info about the dog park is bizarrely only on the "about" section of the (official?) Facebook page for the park which is run by a very unhelpful and unpleasant to deal with person. Alternative ways to get the password is not on the city parks rec site, the online form or any city government site that I can find and the person running the Facebook page doesn't seem to think it should be. The person running the Facebook page was very argumentative when I said the online process was oddly difficult and suggested simple ways to make the park registration easier and more inclusive such has having a link to the paper form and instructions about the library option on the city website. Right now it looks like if you can't upload documents, you can't get access to the park and apparently that is not true. Facebook should not be the only way to get info about a free, public city park. Honestly, after communicating with the person running the park's Facebook page, I'm second guessing going back. The screenshots I could share are wild. The park is very large and there are virtually never any dogs in it, possibly because of how strange and complicated the sign up process is. Good luck!

We have visited a few times in the last week and it's not been very crowded any of the times. In fact, she's had the entire small dog side to herself every time (which makes her a little sad to have no one to play with though). It's just a basic fenced in field with 2 sides. One for large and one for small. Each approved applicant receives a key card to gain entry and a dog tag for their dogs to wear. There are bowls provided and a water tap. We bring our own water and bowl though. The walk to the dog area isn't far from the parking lot like some parks I have seen.

Charlie enjoys running around barking at the big dogs and playing or just laying around. My only suggestion is more benches for the humans to sit and maybe a shaded area. Otherwise Charlie and I enjoy this park.

Lots of dogs typically around 5 (apparently... today was my first time here with my dog but I spoke to a few people) Yes... there is an entry fee of $5 and proof of vaccination IS required. If you find the park to your liking, as long as your dog is up to date on vaccination, you are eligible for a one year membership which is only $40, the $40 will be good for up to 3 dogs that are your own (meaning, you don't have to pay $40 per dog if you have more than 1). I spoke to the lady who runs the park- she is very very sweet. She told me there is a Facebook group called Maryland dog park community. It seems there's lots of pictures and videos and events posted in this account, all from this location. I'm looking forward to getting this membership and bringing my pup here!

Although it's a privately owned park, the gardens are open to the public, with street parking on all sides. Up to 70,000 tulip bulbs are planted annually along with other spring flowering bulbs. The gardens are charming but as with anything spring-related, spring is shorter and shorter and less and less predictable. Use your best judgment to get the photos you see here. This spring, we had a mid-April heat wave and by this past Saturday, the tulips were already looking quite rough and the daffodils were gone altogether. For the best blooms and pictures, pay attention to the weather. The spring flowers were most beautiful early in April this year and the heat wave cut their beauty a bit short this year. When we visited on Saturday, it was certainly still a lovely place for a walk, and we did see plenty of people taking pictures and enjoying the gardens. However, it wasn't as beautiful by then as we might have expected for early April. A lovely little park. You can take a walk, read a book, take photos, enjoy a picnic... Certainly take advantage if you live in or are visiting this area of North Baltimore - especially in those weeks of the years when the tulips are in full strength and beauty!
