Gloria Hertzfelt, a resident for many years of the Greektown Community, has been involved for a long time in efforts to improve the general living environment of her community. She has been an active member in her neighborhood association, the Greektown Community Neighborhood Association, and through her association with the Greektown Alliance, she was a strong partner and actively involved in the renovation of her neighborhood's playground for children. To this present day, she oversees the continued maintenance of this playground.
Among her other volunteer activities, she had a long term involvement in Baltimore City's Youth Summer Job Corp and was a long term member of the Community Advisory Board of Baltimore City's Community Action Center, located at 3411 Bank Street. She has also been a long term volunteer at the John Booth Senior Center of Baltimore City.

Police Department's Southeastern District's Council of Community Relations and in the monthly meetings for the Hispanic community that are held at the Southeastern District. She also volunteers in her immediate neighborhood to
provide assistance to nearby Hispanic residents who need information and referral help and who are faced with a language barrier.
It is fitting to name the playground, presently known as Lehigh and Gough Park, the Gloria Hertzfelt Playground, in honor of her many contributions to her community.
