Community Day of Planting
June 15th, dozens of people volunteered to help turn a vacant platt of land into a beautiful park for the the people of East Baltimore.
The park’s development has been a joint venture coordinated by Parks & People Foundation, the nonprofit that works to promote greening of neighborhoods and outdoor recreation. Its partners included the city, the New Broadway East community association and Humanim, the social-services nonprofit whose renovation of the 19th-century American Brewery building on Gay Street has been a catalyst for efforts to revitalize the neighborhood — and for this park.
