In addition to our Star Spangled Banner National Historic Trail project we are doing, we also have our "Harris Creek Connected" community service project we will be completing in April. Local artist and graphic designer, Ben Peterson, has plotted out the entire project of which we are one piece. Harris Creek currently runs underneath the park by the tennis courts and the ice skating rink. Everything we do effects Harris Creek which in turn effects the Chesapeake Bay.
