Take a breather and sit at the park and watch it from the hill. More

Just some green space on a large rise in the heart of the city. If you're a good walker and/or you are taking in the Science Museum, you should make the walk up to the top to check it out. More

Put on your walking shoes and make the climb. Nice place to end a busy afternoon. And there is a small playground for the kids at the top which was unexpected! More

We were visiting friends in Glen Burnie and decided upon a drive into Baltimore...........oh what a wonderful experience. We drove to the base of Federal Hill Park and went up the stairs to find the most marvelous views. If you are ever near Baltimore go to this park and enjoy the quiet serenity and the magnificant views...........amazing. More

A great view of the harbor and city. A play area for young children. For adults it's just a time to walk and look. If you drive there, Park your car and leave it until your leaving the area. Parking is prime space there. Tour the harbor area. Where your walking shoes and bring some water. More

FHP was the site of a fort on the inner harbor of Baltimore. It is a nice destination from the restaurants on the inner harbor. The view from the top is great. One can see the entire inner harbor and quite a view of Baltimore. If one is out for a real workout, FHP is the place to go. More

I live 5 minutes from this park, and take everyone who visits Baltimore to the view from the top. It is literally the best view of Baltimore and just a few minutes of a walk from the inner harbor. Nestled in Federal hill are tons of restaurants--- MUCH better than the chains in the harbor. Talk a walk to the... More

I live a block from Federal Hill and walk my dog (Chloe) there daily. Despite being a local I never cease to be amazed by the incredible view of Baltimore that Federal Hill provides. It is the location from which most "Baltimore sky line" photos are taken. Perched high above the city, Fed Hill is a piece of history, with... More

What a view of Baltimore City. I can sit on the bench or on the grassy slope for hours! I might say it's one of the more romantic places in Baltimore City. What a great date place for an after lunch or early dinner stroll. Lovely to sit and watch the ships and yachts sail by! Beautiful marina. Supposedly it... More
