Baltimore County officials on Friday broke ground at Northwest Regional Park in Owings Mills for a Baltimore Ravens-themed playground.
A $500,000 contribution was made by the Ravens as part of the NFL Play 60 initiative. The mission of the NFL Play 60 campaign is to empower youths to be physically active and healthy by encouraging kids to get physically active for at least 60 minutes a day, according to its website.
The play area will include a wheelchair-accessible rubberized surface, timed challenge course with obstacles, artificial turf 40-yard dash, musical elements, custom climbing structures and a towering play system with slides reaching more than 17 feet tall.
