In the aftermath of the Charleston church shooting and in response to the general controversy revolving the display of Confederate symbols , there was debate about changing the name of the park . In June 2015 , the County Executive of Baltimore County , Kevin Kamenetz , asked officials of Baltimore City for a name change , saying that " we 've been talking for months about a name change that better reflects this unique amenity . We believe Lake Roland Park is more reflective of this open space treasure , and we are confident that the City will approve our request , and I expect to make a joint announcement with the City about the name change in the very near future . " On September 28 , 2015 , Baltimore County renamed the park to Lake Roland after being approved to do so by the Baltimore City Council
