The Baltimore Peninsula Partnership announced today that Volo Sports will take over the South Point park and event space at 101 W. Cromwell St. This is in addition to Club Volo, which Volo Sports launched last year at 300 E. Cromwell St.

South Point, also known as West Covington Park, is 5.5 acres of green spaces on the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River. It has four beach volleyball courts, a large lawn, an events tent, a pier, a path system, and a parking lot. Volo has used the park in previous years for beach volleyball and kickball.

South Point was launched in 2018 as seasonal outdoor pop-up bar. It never reopened as a bar after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, but has been used a concert and event space in recent years.

Volo plans to host weddings and private celebrations at South Point in addition to festivals, musical performances, and its sports programming.

Already planned for this year at South Point is the Polo & Jazz Celebrity Charity Event, Run Up to Juneteenth, the 2025 Baltimore Dragon Boat Challenge, Afro-Caribbean Weekend, Rasta City, Collective Minds Festival, and the R&B Soul Food Festival.

Club Volo features four beach volleyball courts; 11 pickleball courts; two fields for kickball, soccer, and flag football; and spaces for bocce ball and cornhole. The site also has food and beverage trucks and seating areas.

“From Club Volo to fitness classes and live music, the Baltimore Peninsula team keeps raising the bar with experiences that celebrate our community, culture, and our small businesses,” said Claudia Jolin, executive director of the Baltimore Peninsula Partnership, in a press release. “We can’t wait to welcome even more Baltimoreans to the waterfront and show off the views, energy and vibe – everything that makes our neighborhood so special.”

“We are proud to return to Baltimore Peninsula for a second year to bring sports, entertainment, and the Volo community to this waterfront destination,””” said Giovanni Marcantoni, founder of Volo Sports, in a press release. “At Volo, our mission has always been about more than just the game — it’s about building community and creating spaces where people can come together, stay active, and have fun. Volo’s involvement at South Point this year will return sports to the site and continue to provide top level entertainment. We’re excited to continue being a part of the momentum at the Peninsula and to grow alongside this vibrant neighborhood.”
