This is a very scenic park that also features the Maryland Zoo, Botanic Gardens, and the Rawlings Conservatory. Hiking trails along the Jones Falls feel more like a hidden forest preserve than a city park, it's particularly breathtaking in the fall. There is a small, historic graveyard dating back to the early 18th century, but that's not the only part of the park with buried bodies. Safe during the day, after dark strolls aren't recommended.
