Edgewood Lions Cut Ribbon On New Playground

EDGEWOOD, MD — Harford Property Services (HPS Management) and the Edgewood Lions Club conducted a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, May 16th officially opening the Edgewood Lions Club Memorial Playground at the Woodbridge Center Homeowners Association (WCHOA). The playground was named in honor of all Edgewood Lions as their centennial project.

The existing playground on the corner of Clover Valley Way and Woodbridge Center Way was recently demolished by the Association because it had become unsafe for children to play. The community association of 1,074 homes did not have the funds to purchase a new playground system until the Edgewood Lions donated $17,000.

This donation allowed HPS Management, the managing company for the community association, to purchase a new playground system, repair the swing set, paint the monkey bars, and repair wood trim. The new play system was assembled and installed by Krause Companies who donated labor resources to help complete the project.

J.D. Russell, President of HPS, thanked the efforts of Edgewood Lion President Doug Eck, Lion District Governor Chuck Egender, Lion Doug Patterson (Past Lion District Governor), Edgewood Lion Marie Eck, Larry Krause of Krause Companies, Brandon Jenkins of Jenkins Painting, HPS WCHOA Manager Martin Cifone, HPS Customer Service Team Director Johnathan Gimmel, Harford County Council Member Mike Perrone, County Executive Barry Glassman, Former WCHOA Board President Mike Querns, and WCHOA Board President John Denhardt for all their hard work in this endeavor.

Russell stated, “The entire community is grateful for the generosity of the Edgewood Lions and all those who made this project possible.”
