The monumental and impressive entrance arch at Madison Avenue was designed and constructed from sandstone by George A Frederick architect for the Baltimore Park Commission and was completed in 1868, serving as the main entrance to the park until it was separated from the park proper by the completion of Druid Park Lake Drive. In 1961 the arch, declared to be a traffic hazard, was almost torn down but locals were able to raise $14,000 for the preservation of the arch and demolition was avoided.
