Friends of Patterson Park We are a non-profit membership organization formed in 1998 to care for Baltimore's Patterson Park.

The Friends of Patterson Park is a non-profit membership organization formed in 1998 to promote, protect and advocate for our treasured common ground so that it can be enjoyed for generations to come.

We can't wait for Voluntober tomorrow!!
In addition to trash cleanup, tree planting, and staircase clearing, we'll need some awesome volunteers to help give the Ellwood/Eastern Ave. garden some love and attention.
If that calls to you, feel free to meet at our central location by the boat lake/casino/pavilion for some coffee and snacks before heading over to the garden, OR, head right to the southeast corner of the park directly!
