Playground Closing Wednesday At Shamrock Park In Bel Air For New Equipment Installation

BEL AIR, MD — Shamrock Park's playground will shut down for more than a month starting Wednesday.

Several pieces of equipment will be installed that are designed for use by children with disabilities, including an expression swing that can be used by both an adult and child at the same time, as well as a spinning seat and a merry-go-all.

A new rubberized playing surface will be installed, as well as a handicap-accessible pathway running along the sidewalks on Lee Way and Pennsylvania Avenue.

“It is being closed for a wonderful reason,” Bel Air Mayor Kevin Bianca said while announcing the closure at a recent Board of Town Commissioners meeting.

Signs announcing the closing have been posted on multiple pieces of playground equipment as of Monday. The playground will be closed through June 16.
