 Great urban park |
3001 Boston Street Baltimore, MD 21224 United States +1 410 396 7931 |
This small, quiet, waterside park will never rival the Inner Harbor as a tourist attraction, but some consider this a bit of good fortune, especially those tourists (and locals) who discover it for themselves. What they find is an eight-block-or-so stretch of brick walkway, bordered on one side by a thin field of tree-lined grass and on the other by a sea-wall and the harbor. Sailboats, freighters, and tugs glide by. People fish, frolic, and picnic. Sit on the dock, enjoy the sea breeze and relax. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 A salute to the Polish officers |
131 South Potomac Street P.O. Box 25720 Baltimore, MD 21224 United States +1 410 206 2850 / +1 410 960 6890 http://www.katynbaltimore.com/ |
Located at the roundabout on Felicia Street, the venue pays respect to all the victims of the Soviet communist rule. One example is the massacre of 15,400 Polish officers by the Soviet Secret Police in 1940 in the Katyn forest. The memorial displays photographs of officers and other Polish martyrs who embraced death instead of mercy at the hands of Stalin. A white eagle, on the left hand corner, emerging from the flames symbolizes the country's rebirth. The memorial aims at reminding people about the atrocities of war so that it never happens again.
