New playground officially opens

(May 10, 2021) A group of neighborhood children and their families joined Ocean Pines and local officials on Monday for a ribbon cutting ceremony at Robinhood Park.  

Attendees included Maryland Del. Wayne Hartman, Ocean Pines Association President Larry Perrone, Recreation and Parks Director Debbie Donahue, members of the Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee, and Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce President Kerrie Bunting.  

The ceremony officially opened a brand-new playground at the park, on Robin Hood Trail in Ocean Pines.  

The brightly colored playground features several slides, monkey bars, a small rock-climbing wall, and a swing set. 

Perrone did the honors in cutting the ribbon.  

“First of all, I want to thank Debbie for all the hard work she's done,” Perrone said.  

He also thanked Public Works for demolishing the old structure and preparing the grounds for the new one, and the Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee for recommending the playground replacement. 

“And, of course, we want to thank all of the kids here for coming out to help us do the ribbon cutting,” Perrone said. 

"And they're going to take real good care of our playground!” Donahue added.
