Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz will lead an opening ceremony for Robert E. Lee Park, two years after the County acquired the park from Baltimore City.
According to a news release from the county executive's office, during that time a large part of the 415-acre park has been renovated.
There's now a concrete slab bridge over Roland Run, as well as improvements and additions to the park itself, including paved foot path, a boardwalk from from the light rail station to the site of a future rangers station, and the Baltimore Animal Rights Coalition Park, a 1.5-acre chained compound for dog walking.
