Friends of Patterson Park Courtyard – Coming Soon

Patterson Park is a 137-acre public park that is within easy walking distance of more than 10 different neighborhoods, representing one of the most diverse geographic areas in Baltimore City. The park also serves all Baltimore City residents as one of the largest green spaces with unique resources. Friends of Patterson Park works to ensure the park’s vitality as a treasured green space and encourages its use and appreciation by neighbors, visitors, and future generations.

While Patterson Park is a relatively large space, as a public park it serves a wide variety of needs including recreation and sports and relaxation, but not all of the park’s spaces are compatible with an intentional space for reflection and quiet. Having a space set slightly separate from the park as a whole would allow for these activities to be more easily built into programming and everyday park usage. This site would be a courtyard space at the new Friends of Patterson Park building, intended specifically for community gathering and reflection. Although this site will be secured at times for safety, this Sacred Place will have regular open hours to the public in accordance with Patterson Park’s overall Visitor Experience Plan.
