Between 1905 and 1918, Olmsted Brothers developed plans for new sections of Baltimore’s Patterson Park that would lead to a 20-acre extension of relatively level land. Olmsted Brothers’ principal designs for the new section of park included active recreation facilities like a field house, swimming beach and bath house, playground, field house, and ball fields. All the facilities at Patterson Park are surrounded by curved walking paths lined with trees.
