Olmsted 2022: Good Parks Speaker Series
Friends of Columbia Park is excited to bring you this series of presentations in celebration of the bicentennial of Frederick Law Olmsted and his legacy of landscape design and public parks – both across America and right here in Columbia Park.
The presentations will be held in the Columbia Cottage, located near the south entrance of the Park. We are pleased to offer both in-person seating for masked, vaccinated guests as well as live streaming and recording so that people can watch remotely. Reservations are required for in-person attendance, as seating will be limited to allow for COVID-safe spacing.
