Holabird Industrial Park

Holabird Industrial Park occupies a place with a long transportation history. The City map positions it beside Broening Manor, Graceland Park, Saint Helena and Dundalk Marine Terminal. Its name preserves the military installation that helped shape this part of southeast Baltimore.

Vehicles, repair shops and training

A historical account preserved by the Army Quartermaster Museum describes Holabird’s World War I role in storing, repairing and preparing motor vehicles for overseas shipment. Driver and mechanic training accompanied depot work. Rail, road and water connections made the site useful for a military system increasingly dependent on motor transport.

Parkland and gardening today

City geometry identifies Fort Holabird parkland inside the neighborhood. A Recreation and Parks City Farms brochure lists the garden as Cimaglia, formerly Fort Holabird. Gardening plots are managed through an agreement and participant responsibilities; availability requires a program inquiry. The park and garden provide a public-recreation chapter alongside the area’s industrial use, without making nearby business properties or former military structures unrestricted visitor destinations.
