Windom Road Barrier Park

North Brentwood unveiled an update to historic Windom Road Barrier and Park (including a sculpture), on June 29, 2024, a Juneteenth celebration.

​

In the 1950s, a corrugated metal crash barrier was installed at the intersection of Windom Road and 39th Street, to delineate the municipal boundary between the MD towns of Brentwood and North Brentwood (a sundown town.

​

For nearly a decade,Mayor Petrella Robinson (North Brentwood) and Mayor Rocio Treminio-Lopez (Brentwood) worked to re-envision the barrier.

 

It is now a memorial park — with a sculpture of two hands holding the Windom Road Barrier in the air, signage and pedestrian and bicycle access, areas for public art, benches, planters, tree boxes, new curbs, and streetscape planting.​​
