This was a year to celebrate partners and partnerships 

Here's to all of the partners who worked relentlessly with us to pass of House Bill 1358 - elected leaders,  neighborhoods, nonprofits, city and state agencies, and you!

Maryland House Bill 1358  gave us the road map for establishing Baltimore's first state park.

In 2025, we'll need you and all of our partners on our side again to chart the path forward. The year ahead will bring focus groups, a Stakeholder Advisory Committee, and a study of park conditions to shape the best possible park for future generations.

And while we push hard for a state-city partnership park, our other work continues strong. In 2025, we will fill the park with family-friendly events and activities promoting healthy recreation and education. Our volunteers spent over 1,000 hours this year clearing trails, cleaning up trash, and tending the gardens, and will do so again in 2025. 

Be one of our "Partners for the Park." Put your love for Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park into action by supporting our work with a tax-deductible donation. With your help, we can keep Baltimore’s biggest, most beautiful park healthy and filled with life and activity throughout the year.

Your donation will help us realize our goals!

You can also donate by check.
