We SOLD OUT OF T-SHIRTS!
So we extended the sale
Everything is 20% off through September 30.
We have two different T-shirts, plus magnets, water bottles, stickers, and totes. But the shirt with the park map on the back was a runaway best-seller. In fact, our original supplier couldn't keep them in stock. We found another supplier, so get yours while the sale is still on.

- Garment-dyed finish for a vintage, lived-in color and texture

Baltimore's first City-State Park. The work is underway. |
In July 2026, the Maryland Department of Natural resources celebrated the acquisition of 445 acres of tidal marsh land in Wicomico County that will become Wetipquin Creek State Park -- the first for Wicomico. When it opens, every one of Maryland's 23 counties will have a state park. But since Baltimore City is an independent jurisdiction, not a county, it has never had a Maryland State Park. FOGFLP has been working to change that. We're closer than we've ever been. Learn more and join the movement. |
Baltimore is Maryland's largest city — and home to the largest urban woodland park on the East Coast. It's also the only jurisdiction in the state without a state park.

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHTA film about a park you thought you knew. Hidden in Plain Sight explores the history, ecology, and community that make Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park one of Baltimore's best-kept secrets. |
STORIES IN THE PARKThis park has been part of Baltimore for generations. Share a favorite memory — a trail, a first visit, a photograph — and help us build a living archive of the park's history. |
| VolunteerNearly 1,000 acres of forest, trails, and streams in the middle of Baltimore requires consistent stewardship. There are opportunities to help with the physical work of clearing paths and pulling invasives. But stewardship takes more than a strong back: we also need help with events, outreach, photography, and more. |
Support the parkBaltimore's largest park is in the middle of a historic moment. Maryland has committed $4.28 million toward a city-state partnership for Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park. And we're at the table making sure it becomes real. We don't receive that funding. What we run on is donor support. Your gift funds our capacity to keep showing up: in Annapolis, in planning meetings, and on the ground in the park. |  Years of advocacy made this check possible. Donor support made those years possible |
Meet our new Executive Director |
As we enter a pivotal year for Gwynns Falls Leakin Park, we’re proud to introduce the new leader of our movement — Pickett Slater Harrington. A Maryland Master Naturalist, civic leader, and passionate advocate for equity in the outdoors, Pickett brings more than two decades of experience in community engagement, public service, and environmental stewardship. He joins Friends of Gwynns Falls Leakin Park with a bold, community-powered vision for 2026 — focused on building a park that is welcoming, well-cared for, and shaped by the people who love it. |
Vision & Priorities for 2026We will be focused on the state–city partnership which will advance in Annapolis. In addition our 2026 work will be guided by three pillars. PILLAR 1: ACCESS & INCLUSION - A park that is open, welcoming, safe, and usable for all people and all neighborhoods. PILLAR 2: CARE & BEAUTIFUL SPACES - A park that is safe, clean, restorative, and maintained to the highest standard. PILLAR 3: ENGAGED COMMUNITY & ADVOCACY - A park shaped and protected by the people who use it |
