About

Map of Sparrows Point Park

The historic and famed Bethlehem Steel Mill in Sparrows Point is now a 21-acre waterview park site, located at 1900 Wharf Road in Baltimore, thanks to Tradepoint Atlantic’s generous donation.

This project was the first entirely new park built by the Department of Recreation and Parks in six years, and fills a longstanding recreational gap in the Edgemere-Sparrows Point area.
