What happens here
The park engages young people in sculpture building and artistic endeavours while planning programming and activities for more senior community members. The space is always evolving and changing to reflect what the neighbourhood is currently thinking and feeling.
HOW IT CAME TO BE
The sculptures keep changing.
01
The Need
The site was once a vacant city park in the heart of Baltimore.
02
The Vision
Young people created the sculpture garden to voice their own thoughts and ideas. The park strives to be inclusive of all members of its community, holding both youth-led sculpture work and programming for older residents.
03
The Transformation
The park now provides greenery alongside exercise and playtime equipment. The sculptures included in the garden are changed over time, which is what keeps the space evolving rather than fixed.
