Snow Hill, Maryland – Area residents are cordially invited to join the Worcester County Commissioners and the Heather Leigh and Christopher Robbin Hill Foundation as they cut the ribbon on the new STEM-themed playground equipment at the Newtown Park in Pocomoke on April 16 at 2 p.m.
Worcester County Recreation and Parks professionals worked closely with the Hill Foundation Members for inspiration and design of the STEM-themed playground. Worcester County contracted with Cunningham Recreation to install play structures across 5,400 square feet of play space. The playground is comprised of a main play area, an interactive MEMO game, and a memory garden. Inclusive components are used in the play structures that allow children of all abilities to play and adults of varying ages and abilities to actively engage with their children. The park also includes six baseball/softball fields, two volleyball courts, pavilion, 10-acre fishing pond, and public parking.
Funding for the playground was made possible thanks to a generous $450,000 donation from the Hill Foundation. To learn more about WCRP parks and programs, visit https://worcesterrecandparks.org, and find them on social media at #PlayMDsCoast.
