Center History
Formerly the site of a small field house, Edgewood Recreation Center became Baltimore's first recreation center in more than 30 years. Located in Lyndhurst Park, the center attracts residents from the surrounding neighborhoods of Allendale, Irvington and South Hilton. These neighborhoods cover about 2.3 square miles and include over 18,000 people.

The "Grandmothers of Edgewood," Dolly Jefferson, Estella Willette, Margaret Bracey, Jacquiline Johnson, and Gladys Jackson, were instrumental in making the new center a reality. For years, they lobbied both city and state legislators for the funds to replace the old field house. On June 21, 2005, Edgewood Recreation Center opened its doors to the community.
