2014 has been a successful year for Seton Hill:
-The Baltimore City Paper named our Saint Mary’s Park 2014 Best Park in Baltimore in their annual Best Of Baltimore edition.  This honor is in no small part the result of strong neighborhood advocacy for the Park and also due to John Crimy, the Park Steward hired by the Association to clean and green our historic lovely park!  This 2014 honor comes on top of last year’s award to Seton Hill of 2013 Best Neighborhood in Baltimore!
-The Association is partnering with the Baltimore Bike Party in their effort to bring together diverse neighborhoods in the City with their monthly fun bike ride.  The ride always begins in Saint Mary’s Park the last Friday of the month at 7 pm bringing hundreds of people from all over Baltimore to our park for riding, respecting and revelry.
-A wonderfully successful French Fair, full of fantastic music, great food, and tons of fun for both the adults and the kids!
-Check out our constantly updated website at setonhill.org to find out what is happening in Seton Hill and to get involved!

Hi all!

It’s officially fall – and it’s time to spruce up Saint Mary’s park!  By now we’ve all met John, Seton Hill’s park steward.  He’s done an amazing job with the park, but he can’t do everything alone.  Come out this Saturday, 27 September, to help us weed, clean behind the bushes, rake leaves, and plant some fall flowers around the park.

We’ll provide the tools.  We’ll even bring the coffee!

Start time: 0900, but feel free to join us whenever you’re able to!

Let’s continue to keep this the best park in Baltimore!

Here are some photos from our Spring clean!
