It’s a beautiful space that will be enjoyed by generations to come.” In addition to its recreational value, the Mount Clare Heritage Park also serves as a symbol of the city’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The park’s design incorporates green infrastructure elements to manage stormwater runoff and mitigate the urban heat island effect. Native plants have been carefully selected to reduce water consumption and attract wildlife. “The creation of this park is a testament to the power of collaboration,” said Mayor Brandon Scott. “We worked closely with the community to design a space that meets their needs and enhances the quality of life in this historic neighborhood.
