Carroll Creek Linear Park was 30+ years in the making, from the dream to the grand opening in 2006. After the streets of Frederick were flooded from Hurricanes in 1972 and 1976, the Carroll Creek Commission began studying and planning the massive $10.7 million project. Construction began in April 2005 and was completed in June 2006.
Carroll Creek Promenade
Frederick’s Carroll Creek Linear Park is a 1.3-mile chanelled waterway, beginning in Baker Park and ending at E. Patrick Street. It includes several scenic pedestrian bridges, a 400-seat amphitheater and, many container gardens and fountains.

It was estimated that starting in 2008, private businesses would contribute to the continuing development of the Linear Park past East St., but the recession has altered that expectation.
