Historical Note
Subrook Park is a residential community in Baltimore County, near the northwestern city-county boundary. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. in 1889 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, Sudbrook Park seeks to maintain the historic character of its community. Its community association, formed in 1908 and incorporated in 1941, remains active through the present day. From the 1960s through the 1980s, the association opposed both the Northwest Expressway and Baltimore Metro line on the grounds of historic preservation. In the 1990s, Sudbrook Park worked with Baltimore County to create a community plan that was incorporated into the county's master plans. Annual community events include holiday parades and festivities, flower sales and bake sales, "Art in the Park" programming, and community clean-ups.
