The Friends of Patterson Park Board & Committees help guide the work of the Friends.
IIf you’ve been a Friends of Patterson Park member for a bit, you might know about our mission - to support the diverse community surrounding the park with free park programming, to protect the historic elements like the Observatory, to steward the park’s natural resources with a busy volunteer corps, and to advocate for park resources, both to Baltimore City and funders. The 137 acres of green space that is Patterson Park is truly the Best Backyard in Baltimore, and Friends of Patterson Park works to keep it that way, for our whole community.
You may not know…all of this work is guided by the input and expertise of our Friends of Patterson Park Board, who offer their time and professional talent to our organization to help us plan strategically for the future.
What does the Friends of Patterson Park Board do?
Among other activities, the Friends of Patterson Park Board is responsible for developing the Friends’ mission, helping the organization achieve that mission and adopting an annual budget. Committee members (who may or may not be Board members) serve on the Membership & Development, Capital Projects, Finance, and Advocacy Committees to help do the important work of planning and implementation of board priorities. Board and Committee members hail from all neighborhoods around the park, and all share an enthusiasm for Baltimore City, our diverse community and our work in this thriving park. You can meet some of them HERE.
