About Wyman Park Dell

Wyman Park Dell is a 16-acre public park that is a landmark in Baltimore City. Located south of Johns Hopkins University and The Baltimore Museum of Art, it is surrounded by two neighborhoods: Charles Village to the east and south, and Remington to the west. Wyman Park Dell is noted for its steep enclosing slopes and a large, sweeping lower lawn. It is one of the few parks in Baltimore fully conceived and designed by the Olmsted Brothers, the landscape architecture firm responsible for the City’s first comprehensive park system plan in 1904.

Master Plan

The Wyman Park Dell Master Plan Steering Committee engaged local landscape architecture firm Mahan Rykiel Associates to lead the local community in developing a Master Plan for Wyman Park Dell. The master plan process was been grounded in community-based planning from beginning to completion and we are proud that the surrounding communities and institutions have been involved. The master plan was presented on behalf of the Steering Committee by Ms. Mary Porter of the Department of Recreation and Parks to the Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP) on August 15, 2006. We are pleased to announce that the master plan was approved, with the exception of two items.

Restoration of the stone wall - an important Dell icon - will begin in summer 2010.

The Master Plan process was underwritten through a generous grant from the Goldseker Foundation, plus contributions from the Baltimore Museum of Art, Johns Hopkins University, the Friends of Wyman Park Dell, Remington community members, the Charles Village Civic Association, the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks and Landscapes, the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks, and the Baltimore Community Foundation.
