Community Law Center Showcases Work

Near the corner of Warrwick Avenue and West Baltimore Street, a new playground and fresh asphalt for basketball courts show the progress toward returning the park back to something the community would use.

On-site Wednesday evening, Tim Bridges, vice president of the Fayette Street Outreach Organization, explains to a group of people that the park wouldn't be on its way back without the Community Law Center.

"Without their help we wouldn't be here today," Bridges said.

The law center helped the community by working to help the community work with Baltimore Department of Recreation and Parks to fund the project to the level the community was promised.

On Wednesday night, the Hampden based Community Law Center took members of its Board of Directors on a tour of some of the community projects they've provided legal aid. The law center is a legal services organization dedicated to helping communities and nonprofits, according to its website.

The law center has also helped on other projects in North Baltimore including helping the Baltimore Green Currency Association form as a nonprofit and assisting in fighting against the liquor license at a former bar that was located in the, which was recently named to the city's historic landmark list.
