The Friends of Patterson Park A nonprofit membership organization, The Friends of Patterson Park
promotes stewardship, preservation, improvement and enjoyment of
Patterson Park—the best backyard in Baltimore! The Friends
helps to implement the Master Plan for the park by means of advocacy,
fundraising, and coordination of park beautification, tree planting,
and maintenance. Thanks to the Friends—and its donors, partners
and volunteers—working closely with the City of Baltimore
Department of Recreation & Parks, restoration of our park’s
historic structures is possible. The iconic Pagoda was restored
in 2002, the beautiful Boat Lake renewed in 2003, and the pre-civil
war era Marble Fountain rejuvenated in 2004. The pool was redone and opened in 2006, and the “Little Park” (or “Ellwood Extension”)
is next in line for improvement. In addition, the Friends and
its partners* organize and host fantastic, sometimes offbeat
events each year, such as free outdoor concerts, children’s
art programs, environmental education activities, and the spectacular
Halloween Lantern Parade. Banner Neighborhoods Community Corporation Banner Neighborhood Organization is a nonprofit community-based organization that is a long-standing, steady friend to the entire Patterson Park Community. Banner provides support and assistance to senior citizens through its Home Maintenance Program. Other Banner programs include reading, art and sports clubs for local children. Mayor’s Office of Neighborhoods The Mayor’s Office of Neighborhoods works to ensure that the city government is an effective partner with communities in improving the quality of life in neighborhoods. By providing information, guidance and encouragement, the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhoods is a great friend of Patterson Park! |
