FALLSTON, Md. — The very popular Annie's Playground in Harford County was shut down indefinitely today due to safety issues.
Harford County government posted on social media:
During a safety inspection this morning our Maintenance staff identified several safety issues with cracks in some of the structures at Annie’s Playground. As a result, we are closing the entire playground until further notice. We are actively working with the playground contractor to look at the structures and identify a repair or replacement. We will provide an update as we receive them.
The playground in Fallston, built to honor a 6-year-old killed by a drunk driver, was substantially renovated in 2023.
The state's Department of Natural Resources paid $1.5 million to remodel the playground just a few years ago.
