Patterson Park Work Samples 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 discussions 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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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).
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.

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 Figure&3& allocation of the recreation sources of Baltimore City.
