Neighborhoods
Located in the heart of Historic Downtown Frederick, Baker Park is a 58 acre space complete with jogging and bike paths, multiple playgrounds, a picturesque lake, and much more.

Walking directions: When you walk out of the house, turn right on W South St. Then make your first right onto S Jefferson St. Continue straight for a block, cross 144 and continue on N Jefferson St. The park is directly in front of you! I recommend walking to the creek and following the path - it is lovely. If you take a right and follow the path that way, it will lead to downtown Frederick. Enjoy!
