PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project proposes the purchase and installation of playground equipment at various park areas and schools throughout the County. The replacement of old, deteriorated and unsafe equipment and the need to make existing playgrounds accessible to individuals with disabilities will continue to be a priority. Partnerships with Harford County Public Schools, elementary schools Parent-Teacher Associations, nonprofit foundations and other groups are encouraged as a means of meeting the extensive needs for playground improvements. Installation of playgrounds at newly constructed parks may also be funded through this capital project. Additional funding may be provided by Program Open Space of the Department of Natural Resources or through developer fee-in-lieu funds. This project supports the goals and objectives of the 2022 Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan and its Capital Improvement Program Recommendations.
