Middle Branch Fitness & Wellness Center (Phase I) and Reedbird Park (Phase II) bring a long-awaited catalyst for community health and activity in Baltimore’s Cherry Hill neighborhood. A grant allowed for the early design and installation of the playground by Kompan which features a tower slide structure and climbing dome for older children and accessible carousel, play structure and group seesaw for younger children. The new playground includes ground-play musical elements, colorful safety surfacing, new planting and seating for caregivers. Phase I opened in Fall of 2022, featuring a fitness center, outdoor spaces, basketball courts, an event lawn, streetscape, parking, and a turf field sponsored by the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation. Phase II will include three multi-use fields, a fitness trail, playground, bike connections, and a fishing pier. Community engagement, held in the recently opened Wellness Center, facilitated the design of a sports-themed playground and new community gathering space with a large shade pavilion.
