November 2019 - Parks & Recreation - 35

Donors and organizations
involved in the 2019 PBC
project include:

Kristine Stratton, NRPA's president and
CEO (left), and Baltimore Mayor Jack
Young (right) at the new Catherine Street
Park.

In 2018, when Catherine Street
Park was selected for the Parks
Build project, BCRP expedited
the park renovation plan. BCRP
is funding portions of the renovation, like the newly constructed
building, with the help of a grant
from Target Corporation, but plans
were updated to include donations,
such as site amenities, playground
equipment, a play fountain, basketball
posts/backboard/goals,
basketball court sealcoat surfacing,
baseball field bleachers, basketball
player benches, picnic tables, a
drinking fountain and outdoor fitness equipment. In addition, local
businesses have provided generous
donations that include funding for
park and recreational services and
equipment for programs.
The 2019 Parks Build Community project also includes something
new and exciting that no other
Parks Build project has had before

- research. Thanks to funding
from BCI Burke Playgrounds and
ACTIVE Network, NRPA is working with North Carolina State University College of Natural Resources and Baltimore's Johns Hopkins
University to measure the impact
the renovated Catherine Street
Park has on the community. The
research will explore three potential impacts: health (physical activity), social (socialization and public
safety) and economic (any change
in local business activity).
The data will be collected over a
five-year period. Research began in
December 2018 to establish a baseline using System for Observing
Play and Recreation in Communities (SOPARC). The SOPARC data
collection takes place for approximately two weeks and will be done
annually to quantify the community's activity difference in Catherine
Street Park over time. Concurrently,
SOPARC data collection is taking
place at another Baltimore park,
which will be used as the control
park, where no renovation is taking
