Recreation includes the vast Druid Hill and Forest Park
Bordered by Druid Hill, the neighborhood benefits from the park’s countless amenities like disc golf, tennis courts, trails, botanical gardens and a swimming pool. A staple in the heart of Baltimore since 1860, Druid Hill provides 745 acres of outdoor adventures amid urban living. If you’re looking for smaller-scale adventures, walk a block to Hanlon Park and jog around the perimeter of Lake Ashburton or wander along Keyworth Ave to peer at the historic Louisa May Alcott School, its Colonial-Revival style and striped design notable among the nearby houses. Now a 62-and-older community, the building includes original signage from its early days as School No. 59. Less than two miles away, the Enoch Pratt Free Library’s Forest Park location includes outdoor seating and work areas, study rooms, and technology-driven spaces for children and teens. First opened in 1910, the library remains a staple for surrounding communities. While the neighborhood once housed the Keyworth Ave library, the location closed in the 1980s. Its original building remains only a few blocks from the Delta Community Center, a neighborhood hub for performances, classes and meetings for all ages. Attend one of the live music or comedy events or take courses to hone your technical skills. For students, the center hosts monthly meetings for the Central Maryland Girl Scouts.
