Greyhound Project

Our future is bright — SquashWise is transforming the historic Greyhound bus terminal in downtown Baltimore into a youth and community squash center!

Landmark Along Howard Street

Located at 601 N Howard St, the property served as a Greyhound bus terminal from 1941-1987 and was among the first large travel complexes along the east coast. The Greyhound building is now on the National Register of Historic Places and within the national- and state-recognized Market Center Historic District. SquashWise is honored to transform this iconic building into a youth and community squash center.

A New Kind of Squash Community

The 6-court, 3-classroom facility will allow SquashWise to nearly quadruple the size of our youth programs and expand our community squash model to include sliding-scale memberships, youth and adult leagues, tournaments, and beginner clinics. We will bring people together through a shared love of squash and recreation in a central location that holds meaning for people locally and regionally.

Sneak Peek Inside

The facility will include six squash courts (singles), a small fitness area, three classrooms for our middle school, high school and postsecondary participants, meeting and administrative space, accessibility to public transit, and convenient on-site parking. Construction will begin in June 2024 with an anticipated opening in mid-2025. Until then, check out the renderings below from our design team at PI.KL Studio!
