The Friends of Patterson Park is an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization with a mission to ensure the park’s vitality as a treasured green space and encourage its use and appreciation by neighbors, visitors, and future generations. We work in partnership with Baltimore City Recreation and Parks to maintain and promote a positive park image, provide a forum for ensuring community input into park changes, increasing fiscal and human resources for park programs and projects, fostering park stewardship in the community, and developing events and programs that bring our diverse community into the park to learn, recreate, and make friends.
