Pristine with great views of the Inner Harbor, this historic site is home to a monument dedicated to Major General Samuel Smith, who helped to thwart the attack on Baltimore by the British in the War of 1812. He later became a Congressman, a president of the Senate, and eventually Baltimore's mayor.
A great place to bring kids and pets, the park offers a fenced-in play area complete with slides, monkey bars and a sandbox. While you are in the area, spend a few minutes walking through the very well preserved 19th century Federal Hill neighborhood. For more information: 410-396-5828
