“Imagine a park born from concrete”. That’s Cobbdale Park. It sits above the I-395S freeway. This unique urban oasis has a story to tell.
Cobbdale Park came to life over 40 years ago. The highway construction spurred its creation. Imagine this space as a staging ground for Capitol Crossing. This was its role in recent years. But now, Cobbdale Park shines in its original glory.
The park’s renovation marks a new chapter. It is a vital infrastructure improvement. This project enhances the park space for all. New trees and landscaping now buffer the park. They shield it from the surrounding streets.
Walk along the new paths in Cobbdale Park. Discover inviting sitting areas. Note the fresh fencing and lighting. Even water fountains have been installed. Playable art structures add a whimsical touch.
