About

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

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

Updates

Sparrows Point Park is currently under construction.
