1. One Year Seasonal Park Users Survey
In order to investigate the park usage, I developed a questionnaire under the guidance of Prof. Brower. I approached park users during park events and presented the results at community meetings. I was in charge of the data analysis and wrote the summary memo about the findings, including discus-sions with the local government, consulting firms and other stakeholders.
2. Author of Seasonal Field Study of Patterson Park in Baltimore
I am co- authored the final report with Prof. Brower, including all the diagrams and charts within the report.

1. What is the Patterson Park Master Plan?The Patterson Park Master Plan process is a public effort to create an inclusive and forward-thinking vision for Patterson Park. Baltimore City Recreation and Parks (BCRP) is leading the planning effort in partnership with the Patterson Park Steering Committee (PPSC), Working Group and Councilman Jim Kraft. Mahan Rykiel Associates is the lead consultant on the project. Additional work is being done by the BCRP Forestry Division, Baltimore City Department of Public Works and the University of Maryland, Urban Studies and Planning Program at College Park.
2. Why do we need a master plan for Patterson Park?• To determine how to better manage and maintain the use of the facilities including the athletic fields, event spaces, the dog park, ice rink, recreation center and the pool.• To determine regular maintenance and planting schedules.• To provide new types of programming to ensure that the park is addressing the interests of the broader community.• An updated plan will define a future vision for the park and guide decisions for public and private investments.
3. What is the timeline for completion of the plan? The final plan will be completed in October 2015 and will guide future investment, programs and activities for the park.
The official planning process began in August 2014 with the establishment of a Steering Committee comprised of representatives from local neighborhood associations, area nonprofits and park user groups, BCRP staff, Councilman James B. Kraft and State Delegate Peter Hammen.The timeline is as follows:• August-October 2014: Data Collection*• November 2014-March 2015: Preliminary Narratives and Design Options• April-July 2015: Draft Master Plan• August – October 2015: Final Master Plan Preparation * Statistical questionnaires of park users as well as in-depth focus group discussions (to be conducted by University of MD) are ongoing and will continue throughout the duration of the planning process to inform plan recommendations.
4. What events or activities are planned to gather community input and feedback?There are many opportunities to provide feedback. Community input will be gathered from park users by questionnaires (in English and Spanish) throughout the year (fall, winter, spring and summer). Focus group discussions will be organized with a wide range of park users and non-park user groups to elicit more in-depth information about park issues, preferences and desires for future park improvements. (Additional input was also collected through an online survey during September and October 2014).
Three public meetings are scheduled at key points in the process to keep the public informed of the progress and gather feedback.
5. How do I find out and keep track of what happens after this meeting?For information the about the plan, online input, upcoming meetings and posted working documents, please visit: www.pattersonparkmasterplan.weebly.com (English) or www.pattersonparkplanmaestro.weebly.com (Spanish).
6. How much might this new plan cost? How is the City going to pay for this?Costs will be determined based on the recommendations and priorities developed as part of the plan.
Projects will be determined according to short term, mid-term and long term priorities and needs. The City will look for funding through numerous measures, including municipal bonds, grants, public-private partnerships and public capital improvement funds. In some cases, city funds may not be available or may need to be augmented with private funds.
7. How will the decisions about Patterson Park be made?BCRP will hold public meetings in March and June to discuss initial ideas and preliminary recommendations to gather feedback to inform the development and priorities of the plan. The Steering Committee, as representatives of a wide range of Patterson Park neighbors and users, meets monthly and will provide ongoing feedback. An open house public meeting will be held to discuss the final plan which is targeted for completion in October 2015.

3. Community Outreach
The community outreach effort required coordinating different tasks to complete the project. Examples include the poster I made detailing the process for creating the master plan, an article I posted in the local newspaper to encourage participation, and a sample spreadsheet I developed to keep track of the contact list to arrange work.

I took courses like Planning Technology and Recent Developments in Urban Studies and Intermediate Geographic Information Systems during my studies. I used these skills to apply GIS techniques to support multiple projects in the National Smart Growth Center. The example below is a study on the allocation of the recreation sources of Baltimore City.
