Mary Washington
Assistant Director of Baltimore Parks & the Natural Resources Leadership Institute

Mary joined the Parks & People Foundation in January 2007. Growing up in Philadelphia, a city with great parks and tree-lined neighborhoods, she and her 5 brothers and sisters spent many afternoons exploring the banks of the Schuylkill River. Mary earned her Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University in 1997 and taught sociology at Lehigh University. In Baltimore she has held positions as the Director of HousingStat and the Interim Director of the Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance.

Mary is the past president of the Abell Community Association and was a Construction Captain for "Our Playground at Stadium Place," a playground and green space project on the old Memorial Stadium site that created a safe and welcoming play park for the Stadium area children, families and seniors. Mary is excited to be a part of the Parks & People team and looks forward working on many projects that will make Baltimore a healthier, cleaner and greener city.
