REC ROLLOUT

Fallstaff playground ribbon cutting kicks off Rec & Parks Rollout with city and partners investing nearly $250K in reimagined playspaces! The Mayor’s Office, BCRP, Councilman Yitzy Schleifer (District 5), Baltimore City Public Schools, and Comprehensive Housing Assistance, Inc. (CHAI), partnered to bring the reimagined playground to fruition. Playgrounds in parks and schoolyards are vital resources for Baltimore youth to strengthen their physical, social, and emotional health. The City prioritizes providing children with safe, accessible places to play in all neighborhoods. 

BCRP’s Rec Rollout includes a series of groundbreaking celebrations announcing upcoming recreation center projects.
