Rash Field, located on the south side of Baltimore's Inner Harbor will be redesigned into an active and attractive park space that will serve a diverse user base through added amenities and increased programming. Parks are not just the green lungs and blue hearts of our cities. They are incubators of culture and laboratories of democracy. They are open-air classrooms and interactive educational exhibits. In parks, we discover the relationships that sustain our lives. RASH FIELD PARK embodies this new park model, and through its design, invites exploration and engagement. Opportunities to learn are embedded throughout the park’s 7-1/2 acres, which are carefully crafted to connect back to more familiar places of home, school, and community.
The Park will be built in two phases. Phase I will include two playground areas - a nature park and a kinetic playground, a skatepark, a shade lawn and a pavilion featuring a waterfront cafe and a green roof overlook. Phase II will create a new beach experience for families and beach volleyball players, transform the bleachers into ambling walking and jogging paths, establish butterfly and bird labs, build new youth sports fields and create a game lawn. Phase I will break ground in January and will open by Spring 2021. Phase II construction will commence after Phase I. For more information, see the plan or visit our FAQs.
The RASH FIELD PARK experience is at its core about connection, serving as a city-wide hub of innovation supporting education & ecology, health & wellness, recreation & play, and programming & entertainment.
