SHOWELL, Md. — Worcester County officials will celebrate new playground upgrades at Showell Park with a public ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, October 21, at 2:30 p.m.
The event will be hosted by the Worcester County Commissioners and will highlight the installation of new, inclusive play equipment designed for children of all ages and abilities. The playground covers about 6,600 square feet and features nautical-themed play structures divided into two sections: one for children ages 2 to 5 and another for ages 5 to 12. The project was completed by All Recreation under contract with Worcester County Recreation and Parks. The play area includes unitary surfacing for accessibility and interactive components that allow adults and children to play together. Showell Park also offers a concession stand, pavilion with grills, basketball and tennis courts, pickleball courts, a volleyball pit, a walking trail, picnic tables, and public parking.
