Book excerpt: The area known as University Park historically has been closely connected with St. Mary's University. The growth of the university has greatly influenced the need for commercial development and housing in the area for students and employees of the university as well. There also is a high concentration of long-time property owners and residents, not necessarily connected directly with the university that continue to reside in the neighborhood. St. Mary's University has experienced significant growth in the last 10 to 15 years and undertaken an increasingly active role in the neighborhood. Some of the results of this partnership are the continued success of Oyster Bake during Fiesta, the creation of a strong and active neighborhood association, a university gateway project that will enhance the visual appeal of the neighborhood areas on the perimeter of the university and the production of the University Park Goals and Strategies Report.
