HOW IT CAME TO BE
One park to unlock six.
01
The Need
Donald O. Wilson Park is one of six Inner Block Parks in Baltimore's Harlem Park neighbourhood under consideration for revitalization. It sits directly behind St. James Terrace Apartments, an affordable independent senior living facility.
02
The Vision
St. James Development Corporation, which owns the site and is spearheading the project, aims to create sustainable sites that meet the real needs of the communities around them. This park is the pilot, chosen to catalyze the masterplan and redesign of the other five Inner Block Parks into one connected greenway. The Sacred Place is intended to enhance the space for intergenerational use and welcome residents to gather.
