Thanks to you – our loyal Friends and supporters who made a donation to our year-end fundraising campaign – the Friends got this lightly used Toro utility vehicle to help us move things around the park – like mulch and wheelbarrows and soccer balls!  Also special thanks to Mike and Dave at Turf Equipment & Supply Company for helping us find the Toro and learn how to drive it!

Here’s Katie and Lesley on a test drive:

As the Ravens get closer and closer to a possible place in the superbowl, the Pagoda shows it’s Raven’s Pride!

We got some calls about the Marble Fountain being broken, but that is not the case. Each year, we turn it off when it gets cold, so the pipes don’t freeze. Thanks for keeping your eyes on the Park!

PNC Concerts in the Park begin Sunday, June 12th!

First concert will be June 12th on Pagoda Hill (raindate: June 15th).

Our special guests, Patterson Park Public Charter School students, will open with a short instrumental segment @ 6pm, followed by Big Daddy Stallings @ 6:30pm.

Big Daddy Stallings is the self-proclaimed “Mayor of B-Town!” This South Carolina-born trucker-turned-music man brings the real essence of the blues to Patterson Park. The Afro-American describes his sound as “Wonderful…the sound of Jimmy Reed seasoned with a little B.B. King.”
