What happens here
The historic fountain serves as a community gathering place and focal point within the park, offering pause and respite from the benches that sit back from and surround it.
HOW IT CAME TO BE
The best backyard in Baltimore.
01
The Need
Patterson Park is known to its urban neighbourhoods as the best backyard in Baltimore. Surrounded on all sides by densely populated neighbourhoods, its 137 acres have been valued and loved by the southeast Baltimore community for generations. The 1864 Marble Fountain at the park's original entrance needed restoring.
02
The Vision
Nature Sacred played a major part in that restoration and in establishing a new public space around it.
03
The Transformation
The sky-reaching fountain now anchors the space, with benches set back from and surrounding it.
