Angel Park Celebrates Two-Year Anniversary Since Construction

PERRY HALL, MD — A family friendly celebration marked the two-year anniversary of the building of Angel Park. Thousands of volunteers helped build the storybook-themed playground in 2016.

Families delighted in the finished product Sunday during a Concert in the Park on Honeygo Boulevard. Party band Kanye Twitty performed, and the Oriole Bird was among those in attendance.

Angel Park was designed to be the largest and most accessible playground in the Baltimore region for children with special needs. A wheelchair-accessible "shaky bridge," Braille panel, therapeutic swings, 30-foot accessible zip lines and quiet places for children with autism and other conditions are some of the special features.

The storybook-themed playground was developed with input from 4,500 pre-K through fifth graders from the Perry Hall area and includes local flair. A pirate ship, castle and treehouse are among the whimsical features, while a seafood store and Terps turtle are some of the Maryland-inspired elements.

More than 4,000 people helped volunteer to build the park over the summer in 2016.
