New Park Opening In Towson This Week

TOWSON, MD — A new park is coming to Towson, with a grand opening planned for this week.

Bentley Park is named for community activist Adelaide Bentley, who lived in East Towson.

The park is on 0.5 acre near the Stanley, Black & Decker property, at 440 East Pennsylvania Avenue in Towson.

A ribbon cutting celebration will take place at Bentley Park from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 21. The event is designed to raise awareness about and generate community participation in the park and serve as an introduction to the Donald C. Outen Urban Tree Society.

At the ribbon cutting, there will be beer, wine and light refreshments under a large tent on site, with parking next door at Stanley, Black and Decker. There is no charge, but contributions will go toward ongoing park stewardship.
