The Baltimore Banner: “From new athletics fields to a repaired gazebo, Baltimore’s historic Riverside Park get a makeover” (David Lynch)
…Planning for the project dates back to 2010 and is being done in phases. The South Baltimore Gateway Partnership paid for recent repairs to the park’s iconic gazebo, something the parks department did not have funding to complete. The project included roof and base repairs and painting.
“The renovation itself was something that the community had been championing for a long time, along with our council person, Councilman [Eric] Costello,” said Liz Cornish, enhanced services director for the partnership.
“We just hope that the Riverside Gazebo pays homage to the historic nature of the park and what the park stands for, and then provides what the neighborhood deserves, which is a beautiful restored place to gather,” Cornish said.
Repairs to the gazebo are expected to be completed in Fall 2023.
