Brooklyn/Curtis Bay/Baybrook
A 7.5 acre public park located on a hilltop just beside the Interstate 895 tunnel connecting south and east Baltimore, Garrett Park has been the site of major investment and improvement driven by residents in recent years.
Commissioned more than 100 years ago, Garrett Park has some of the area’s only publicly-accessible playground equipment and athletic courts, and now includes a new pedestrian path with resident-built benches and furniture. It is also home to the Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore.
Over several years, Grow Home has actively worked with the Friends of Garrett Park to improve the site, helping to organize large events, build and install park benches, public art and other improvements and has supported local residents to teach Zumba classes and to clean up the park regularly.
