Point Park
Thoughtfully designed to connect people with nature, history, culture, and each other, the 4.5-acre Point Park is the culmination of more than 20 years of master planning and development with the City of Baltimore and local communities. Point Park offers visitors an opportunity to learn the significance of the land upon which they stand.
For 140 years, the peninsula now known as Harbor Point was the site of Allied Signal’s Baltimore Chrome Works facility. At Point Park, trees hold the place where steel columns once stood; gates symbolically mark the entrances to buildings that now only exist in photographs; timber benches and steel beams recall the heavy industry that once shaped the area.
Long before its industrial use, the land was part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, historically inhabited and stewarded by Indigenous communities. With the support of T. Rowe Price and the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore and in collaboration with the Baltimore American Indian Center and other Native American consultants, Point Park features educational signage that shares the Indigenous history of the land and helps visitors connect with its roots.
