Eager Park, The community led design project in Baltimore, Maryland, is another great example of how open space and parks can anchor a community and drive economic development.

The project area spans the neighborhood formerly known as Middle East and now named for the five-acre park at the intersection of Ashland Avenue and Wolfe Street, Eager Park. After a long period of disinvestment, the area is home to more than 450 units of affordable and market rate rental and for-sale housing with more than 400 additional units on the way.
