Resting between Boston Street and the Baltimore Harbor, Canton Waterfront Park offers eight acres of terrific views of the harbor and an easily accessible and vista-rich recreational area. See Baltimore’s maritime both past (with Fort McHenry sitting prominently across the water) and present (gargantuan U.S. Navy ships docked in the adjacently situated Clinton Street Marine Terminal).

Canton Waterfront Park is positioned as one of the eastern-most access points to the harbor, making the park a useful location for outdoor recreation facilities such as the boat ramp and fishing pier. With its large parking area, the Canton serves as a convenient starting point for traversing the Waterfront Promenade. When visiting, be sure to view the Korean War Memorial, which features a history of the war and contains the names of 527 Marylanders who died in the conflict. Adorned with landscaped green space, the memorial help makes Canton Waterfront Park an unmistakable treasure in a city replete with charm.
