What happens here
The park serves the many visitors, students, and staff of the Annapolis Maritime Museum, who come to find respite and reflection.
HOW IT CAME TO BE
The volunteers did it.
01
The Need
The park was overgrown and neglected, and a space on it was being used for storage.
02
The Vision
Volunteers and operations staff of the museum set out to make it a safe and beautiful waterfront park for the Annapolis community.
03
The Transformation
The storage space is now a clean, comfortable environmental education centre with two classrooms, updated facilities, and a green roof that adds a layer of vegetation in an otherwise urban environment, reducing both stormwater runoff and the urban heat island effect.
