Druid Hill Park is a 745-acre urban park in northwest Baltimore, Maryland. Inaugurated in 1860, Druid Hill Park ranks with Central Park (begun in 1858) in New York and Fairmount Park (1812) in Philadelphia as the oldest landscaped public parks in the United States. The old Negro Swimming pool is still there, (Background) though it has since been filled with grass and memorialized. Lil' History :)
