Mayor Scott, Baltimore City Recreation & Parks (BCRP), City and State officials, and community members, including representatives from the Baltimore Ravens and the Baltimore Terps Youth Sports program, unveiled a new name for an upgraded greenspace at a former Northwest Baltimore school and police training facility.

Councilman Isaac “Yitzy” Schleifer, Delegate Malcolm Ruff, Delegate Sandy Rosenberg, and former Councilwoman Rikki Spector were all present for the event. Pimlico Safety Academy’s greenspace, which previously housed a baseball diamond, football field, and multipurpose space, will now be known as The Fields at Pimlico Park. The Baltimore Terps Youth Sports program and the community currently utilize the space.

“As a son of Park Heights, it is powerful to see the transformation of this space and to know that it will serve generations of Baltimore’s young people,” said Mayor Brandon M. Scott. “We have made a commitment under my administration, that every Baltimoreans deserves access to world-class recreation facilities and outdoor greenspaces. This field upgrade is a commitment to that promise and I am immensely proud of how the community and the entire City of Baltimore has come together to help deliver it.”

This Rec Rollout project — an investment of nearly $900,000 — is funded through ARPA and Pimlico Community Development Authority (PCDA) resources. The City leveraged PCDA funds to install a brand-new playing surface on the football field, and the Ravens gifted a new scoreboard. Learn more about this project by reading the full press release here
