Update on Y expansion, Y Playground, and Greenspace
Last weekend the greenspace at the Y/Stadium Place site was closed for construction of the extended Y area, which includes a new splash pad and pavilion for public use, and the new Y preschool. Once construction is finished the greenspace will be open again. Access to the green space is closed off for one year as there are sediment control and safety concerns which closed off the area.
Below is a list of alternatives that residents can take advantage of while the greenspace is closed.

Ednor Gardens Lakeside Community Garden - Chestnut Hill Road in between Loch Raven and Monterey Rd - Dogs Allowed but must be kept on leash

There is also a golf course, new tennis courts, a playground, Clifton Mansion, basketball courts and more. If you park near old Lake Clifton campus you can access nice fields as well as the amenities.

Linkwood Park - Located on Coldspring Lane and Linkwood, this park is huge and has a nice playground. Dogs welcome but must be on a leash. There is plenty of shade at this park.
Other areas - a new dog park is coming to NE Baltimore soon, it will be enclosed. We are awaiting details for location and when it will be opened. There is a separated dog park at Patterson Park along Linkwood Road.
Also, update on the Y Playground, there are major repairs that need to get done before the playground can be opened. We are hopeful the repairs get done and the Playground is opened in the next month or so.
