Dewees Park 5501 Ivanhoe Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21212

Dewees Park is an eighteen acre park located in the Mid-Govans neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. Named after long-time resident and Councilman Walter J. Dewees, the park offers amenities such as basketball courts, an urban garden, a recreation center, playground, football field, and baseball fields. Access points are available at three locations around the park. The park also features a large urban farm where community members can rent plots of land. The recreation center offers programming and minor renovations have been completed to improve the facility. The park also includes a playground, basketball courts, and baseball fields. A football field was built in 2003 through successful lobbying efforts. The park's design has been criticized for poor maintenance and lack of lighting on the fields. The City adopted a conceptual master plan in 2014, which includes recommendations for walking trails, a pavilion, and a spray park. Despite these recommendations, a more comprehensive design is needed to fully utilize the park's potential.
