Druid Hill Park is a 745-acre park in Baltimore, Maryland. The land was originally part of the Druid Hill estate of Nicholas Rogers, and was purchased by the city of Baltimore with the revenue derived from a one-cent park tax on the nickel streetcar fares. Druid Hill Park was inaugurated by Baltimore Mayor Thomas Swann on October 19, 1860. Today, the park is home to a number of attractions, including the Maryland Zoo, the recently-renovated conservatory, and the Baltimore Model Safety City, where school children can learn the habits of safe pedestrians by walking in a miniature version of downtown Baltimore.
