Baltimore City Recreation and Parks (BCRP) owns and operates the Shake & Bake Family Fun Center in the historic Upton community in West Baltimore. “The Bake” as it is affectionately known, has been a local, iconic staple since 1982. Named after Baltimore Colts wide receiver, Glenn “Shake & Bake” Doughty. Shake & Bake is the spot for Bowling and Rollerskating under one roof in the heart of Baltimore City!

We're still here and still committed to the community. We can't wait to see you back at the Bake.
When we reopened the Shake and Bake Family Fun Center, Baltimore City Recreation and Parks (BCRP) made a promise to the community to run its operations with integrity and transparency.
It was important to our agency to spearhead an investigation through the Baltimore Office of the Inspector General upon learning of an unauthorized 21 and over party. BCRP has taken necessary responsive measures since launching the investigation, including appropriate employee termination, implementation of staff training, and adjustments to standard operating procedures. The steps to correct this discrepancy and to prevent future incidents are ongoing.
