Annie's Playground In Bel Air Closing This Month For Renovations, Reopening For Summer

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — Annie's Playground at Edgeley Grover Park in Bel Air will close around Feb. 6 for renovations. The park will remain closed for an estimated four months.

According to the county rec and parks department, the renovation project will include removing the old pressure treated wooden playground and installing a new custom creative playground with a poured rubber safety surface.

New equipment to be installed will include a giant treehouse with an evolution arch climber, a rock wall, four different kinds of slides, various swings and gliders, a music area, catwalks, tunnels, bridges, ramps, animal sculptures, sensory panels and seating.

The rest of the playground will be closed to the public for safety reasons. Pavilion rentals at this site will also not be available during this time.

The playground is named for Annie Cumpston who died in 2003 when she was six years old after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in Baltimore City.
