West Shore Park, located in the heart of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, serves as a prominent and scenic destination for recreation and community gatherings. Nestled between the Baltimore Visitor Center and the Maryland Science Center, the park spans over 3.25 acres and offers picturesque views of the harbor.
