West Forest Park blends classic 1920s–50s brick homes, porches, and generous yards with a peaceful, tree-canopied feel on the west side of Baltimore. The neighborhood sits near the architectural gems of Windsor Hills and the community corridors of Howard Park, with historic Dickeyville just down the hill along the Gwynns Falls.
Outdoor time is a daily ritual here. Residents wander the miles of trails, stream valleys, and picnic groves in the expansive Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park, cared for by Baltimore City Recreation & Parks, and families tap into hands-on science and wildlife programs at the Carrie Murray Nature Center. Golfers keep their swing sharp at the nearby Forest Park Golf Course, a beloved municipal course known for mature trees and rolling fairways.
Schools anchor the neighborhood’s rhythm. Calvin M. Rodwell Elementary/Middle School offers modern facilities and community programming, while Forest Park High School provides college- and career-focused pathways and athletics that draw spirited local support. The Enoch Pratt Free Library’s Forest Park Branch adds after-school activities, Wi‑Fi, and cultural events for all ages. Commuters appreciate MDOT MTA bus connections along Garrison Boulevard and Liberty Heights Avenue, making downtown and regional job centers accessible without the car.
