About Sisson Street Community Park

A Green Urban Haven

Tucked away in Baltimore's urban landscape, Sisson Street Community Park might not be the biggest green space you'll come across, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in heart. This little slice of nature provides a break from city life where you can breathe a bit easier and reconnect with the outdoors.

There's something special about the community vibe here. The park pulses with local energy, regularly transforming into a gathering spot for events like the Big Queer Yardsale and various Remington neighborhood meetups that bring neighbors together.

A Touch of Green

The park's field area has topsoil and sod, creating a versatile patch of green for activities - whether that's a peaceful solo picnic or an impromptu game of frisbee. Planting beds dot the landscape, and young trees (future shade-providers!) have been added to enhance the natural beauty.

Spring is particularly magical here, when everything bursts into bloom and adds a pop of color to your day. If you're a dog owner, you'll appreciate how the open grassy area has become an unofficial canine social club where neighborhood pups come to play and make furry friends.

Things to Do

Fancy a thoughtful game of chess? The park's cement chess tables invite you to slow down and exercise your mind. For the little ones, there's a swing set that provides the simple joy of soaring through the air.

The barbecue pits are ideal for those days when you're craving some grilled goodness, and the park's stage area opens up possibilities for anything from acoustic jam sessions to community announcements.

You'll come across chairs and benches scattered throughout, offering comfortable perches to sit and watch the world go by. The park's Little Free Library operates on the charming "take a book, leave a book" principle - a little literary treasure chest for the neighborhood.

And yes, there are picnic tables when you want to enjoy a meal surrounded by greenery.

Community at Its Core

Sisson Street Community Park was created through the efforts of local organizations and volunteers. Despite being surrounded by industrial Baltimore, it's a place where neighbors can gather among the trees and open sky.
