Druid Hill Park, Historic urban park in northwest Baltimore, United States.
The 745-acre green space features wooded areas, recreational facilities, and Druid Lake, one of the largest earthen dammed lakes in the country.
The land belonged to George Buchanan, one of seven commissioners who established Baltimore Town in 1729, before being purchased by the city in 1860.
In 1948, twenty-four tennis players were arrested for challenging racial segregation by playing on the white-only tennis courts in the park.
Visitors can access an 18-hole disc golf course, swimming pools, tennis courts, and the Maryland Zoo located in the center of the park.
The Howard P Rawlings Conservatory, the second oldest Victorian glass conservatory in the United States, maintains botanical collections within the park grounds.
