They will also have a twist on its annual Annual Park N'Pumpkin, the Park'd N'Pumpkin. Druid Hill Park will get spooky on October 24 with a trick or treat and other fall activities from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. An outdoor movie will play at 8 p.m. The event is free, and everyone can enjoy it from each attendee's vehicle.

"After a modified, yet successful summer of recreation, BCRP is ready to transition into fall," said Reginald Moore, BCRP executive director. "I am proud of our staff who have thoughtfully considered the health and safety of our users, visitors, and communities during our phased reopening. I am confident that we will bring Baltimore fun, as well as safety, as we incrementally open and restore our programs and services now and in the future."
