Gwynn Oak Park

[2] In 1955, Baltimore City clergy, along with local chapters of the civil rights group Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), with assistance from the NAACP, demonstrated for integration at Gwynn Oak Park.

For the first, on Thursday, July 4, 1963, demonstrators initially gathered at Orchard Street United Methodist Church in West Baltimore before boarding buses to the park.

Two members of the Episcopal Church's National Council staff, Bishop Daniel Corrigan and Father Daisuke Kitagawa, executive secretary of the Division of Domestic Missions, were also among the group arrested.

The park closed in 1973 after suffering severe damage from flooding when Hurricane Agnes caused the Gwynns Falls creek to overflow.

The carousel was moved and is still in operation on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.[3][4] The land is currently owned by the Baltimore County government and utilized as open space picnic ground.
