Possibly the most obscure park we've looked for, Baltimore Park is between two gravel alleys and behind a senior center. There is absolutely no signage for the park, and if you weren't on a mission to visit every Metro Park, you would likely think it was park of the senior center.
There's a basketball court, swings, and a wide field that probably serves the neighborhood. But this is not a destination park so much as a lawn. It's also the first park we didn't actually go in (you'll note the picture is from the other side of the fence).
But, it's important to note that in our quest to find this park we found something new to us: the Unicorn Tavern. Located at what used to be the base of the Asarco smelter, the Unicorn is a smelly, dark bar. But man, it's cool. And their beer-garden is beautiful, with a "peek-a-boo" view of the water (I can't write that with a straight face, I'm sorry). In the corner is a water feature which makes the small space rather peaceful. This is a place to check out again. So thank you, Baltimore! Without you, we wouldn't have found the Unicorn.
