We have a rare and exciting opportunity to create a community park in the heart of Lutherville Timonium! Right in between Greenspring Avenue and Broadway Road is a privately owned, 17-acre parcel of land available for purchase.

Instead of allowing this land to be developed or lost, we propose that our community and county come together to preserve it as a public park for generations to come. This would not be just any park. Our vision is a Community Stewardship Park that reflects our shared values and would feature:

🌱 Native Gardens & Tree Plantings - Restoring native plants and trees to support pollinators, birds, and wildlife while improving air quality and stormwater management

🐝 Community Apiaries - Safe, well-managed beehives to strengthen pollinator populations and support healthy ecosystems

🥕 Communal Garden Spaces - Raised beds and garden plots where families, seniors, and youth can grow food together

🚶 Walking Paths & Green Space - A peaceful place to exercise, gather, and connect with neighbors in nature

Why This Matters: Currently, Timonium lacks a park that provides these types of spaces. This project would:
- Protect open space from future development
- Boost neighborhood property values
- Provide hands-on learning for children and families
- Strengthen health and well-being
- Preserve the natural environment for generations

How we’ll make it possible: This property costs approximately $3 million. We aim to secure funding through a combination of:
- State and county grants (e.g., Maryland’s Program Open Space, the Land & Water Conservation Fund)
- Partnerships with nonprofits and land trusts
- Community donations and charitable contributions

This is not just about land—it’s about our values. By coming together, we can create a living legacy in Timonium: a place where nature, health, and community thrive side by side.
