Robert E. Lee Park to Reopen Friday

Baltimore County will cut the ribbon on $6.1 million in renovations.

Starting Friday, you won't have to drive so far to experience the great outdoors.

Robert E. Lee Park hosts its grand reopening on Friday, following  Baltimore County signed a long-term lease with Baltimore City in 2009 for the 415-acre park just north of the city line. The renovations include a new pedestrian bridge from the Falls Road light rail station, erosion controls and a dog park.

County Executive Kevin Kamenetz on the park on Friday. As a councilman, Kamenetz once represented the area, and residents there credit him with helping to arrange the lease.
