    Beautiful place. Saw a couple having a picnic. Lots of people walking dogs!! When the weather is good take a trek, have Happy Hour at one of the waterfront restaurants nearby. You won't regret it. (Check with @charmcitytable for those recommendations)

    Nice, clean park right with amazing views of the harbour. People will bring their blankets and relax on the grass or toss the Frisbee. Not too many people on weekday afternoon. You can catch the water taxi to Fells Point from this location.

    Really nice and small waterfront “park”, we went In the morning around 11am and there was very few people. It was relaxing to walk along the “coast”. There’s parking which is convenient.

    It’s a nice place to go walking. They have free parking. Only thing I don’t like is that people go down there to smoke weed. It’s kids and elderly there they sit around and in their cars smoking weed and whatever else. Besides that the park was great. Open dusk til dawn

    Beautiful park! Nice place for a picnic. Wouldn't necessarily go back during the 4th of July as I couldn't see fireworks.

    I recently just moved to the area. I live walking distance; and I have made this my daily jog and walking trail. Great scenery of the boats on the marina. Various nice restaurants and happy hour spots I will try with friends and my guy. I will definitely be renting and buying a boat from one of the many yacht center companies that sit on the waterfront. In addition, the water taxi is here located here as well.

    The park has free parking. There were lots of birds and ducks near parking area. It’s so nice to walk near the waterfront.

    Nice relaxing park with a beautiful view and lots of benches. The park is lively and there are lots of runners. There’s a nice walk of a few miles you can take or sit down and enjoy the video. Street parking and parking lot are available. There is some Homelessness that you see here too.

    Park was clean for the most part other than the docking areas had trash that washed to the steps. Bathrooms were 3/10 definitely looked as though they haven't been cleaned in a while, exercise extreme caution with going into use it. Enough grassy area to have a picnic and benches or seating spread out throughout the park.

    Can be improved. Suroundings are dirty. I like my visit there eventhough it's windy.

    This was a great place were we brought our own chairs and food while attending the Water Lantern festival. It was so much fun and relaxing. The weather was perfect. Everyone was spaced out where it didn't seem over crowded.

    On a previous visit to Baltimore where I was trying to avoid all the tolls. My GPS routed me near this Canton waterfront Park. The parking is free. There's a small playground for kids. But the best thing is it allows you to walk along the edge of Baltimore harbor. You can pretty much walk all the way down to the inner harbor if you feel like it. I like the fact, with my camera, I could get some very good harbor related shots. Since the parking is free, I didn't have to pay to enjoy the area. Continuing along the shoreline with only a little bit of building interruption, you can walk to fells point, a popular entertainment area, and if you want to walk further, you can get all the way to the middle of the inner harbor. I've never felt uncomfortable leaving my rental car there. Also. You can take a free water taxi from there, to another part of the harbor. Giving you the opportunity, to photograph the shoreline, the marina, and the buildings that line up against it.

    So beautiful ,peaceful ,clean truly a breath of fresh air and clean clear water. You know the way I water used to look at the inner harbor. To go back to looking that way if we start caring more about our environment. I love being in this area such a breath of fresh air beautiful scenery. Although you won't see many African Americans in this area..

    I photographed this couple at the canton waterfront as part of their elopement. It has so many great spots and views. Highly recommend this area for portraits of any kind. We also got lucky with a little rain so we were the only ones there!

    Wife and I shared dinner here on a Fri evening. Very nice view, right on the water. Parking lot was easy to access and has plenty of space. Although a lot of broken vehicle window glass suggests break ins are common, we had no issues (in park for 90min, left at twilight). Lots of people watching opportunities. Ducks and geese, if you enjoy those. Plenty of space for all kinds of activities. Park was well maintained. Only issue was a lack of picnic tables, but that would not have been an issue if we had remembered to bring a blanket.
