The Friends of Herring Run Parks (FHRP), established in 2007, is a nonprofit community-based organization dedicated to preserving, improving and engaging the community with the Herring Run Parks in Northeast Baltimore City. FHRP is not a Baltimore City agency but a nonprofit group of community members organized to improve the park and the communities surrounding it. Currently, there is one part-time paid staff person and many volunteers.
 
FHRP is currently in a strategic planning process to determine the focus areas of FHRP for the next 3-5 years. This helps the organization decide what programs to host, how to advocate, what funds to attract and what staffing model is needed to accomplish this. This process cannot be done without community input as FHRP are community stewards.
