FROM DELEGATE KATHY SZELIGA NEWSLETTER (April 2, 2015):

 

 

 

A Community Project Extraordinaire!

 

 

Angel Park will be an all-inclusive playground and amphitheater facility in Perry Hall near the library on Honeygo Blvd.  The concept is similar to Annie's Playground in Harford County.  It is a playground that kids with disabilities can fully utilize.  Angel Park will include slides that prevent static shock, equipment that is fully-wheelchair accessible, and other various unique playground equipment that all kids can use, no matter the disability or handicap. 

 

 

 

Angel Park will incorporate the designs and ideas of local children and artists. It will be built and supported by the community and provide a unique destination to be enjoyed by all families for years to come. It will be more than a memorial park; it will be a special place for children, families and friends.

The park has a very real and personal meaning to members of our community. The name was purposely chosen to represent a vision of an ideal setting for happiness and reflection. This name was selected to inspire support from the widest audience and to build the enthusiasm and momentum necessary to make it a reality.

Angel Park began from an idea that came to Kelli and Andy Szczybor after the loss of their baby boy, Ryan. From a sad origin, a bright and life affirming idea emerged - to build a place for laughter, activity and fun, for families and friends throughout the surrounding neighborhoods.

 

 

 

Kelli Szczybor and her leadership team have rased about $1 million for the project.  I sponsored a bi-partisan bill with delegates from the 7th and 8th districts; Rick Impallaria, John Cluster, Christian Miele and Eric Bromwell.  We have been able to secure a grant from the State of Maryland for $100,000!  The senators, JB Jennings and Kathy Klausmeier, are working on a senate grant of an additional $100,000.  This is a terrific project we can all be proud of.

 

 

 

I hope to see you at the ground breaking and construction phase of this terrific project.
