Leith Walk Elementary-Middle School in Baltimore is getting a new playground with sliding boards, a garden and rock climbing wall thanks to nonprofit KaBOOM.

The 18.5-acre Gipson Play Plaza, set to officially open on June 6, is one of the first major additions to Dorothea Dix Park.

This new Kimberly playground, which is entering its first summer, is loved by Westside Elementary students. Read why in this week's Slide Guide.

For the better part of a year, Muthard worked with contractors, engineers and sponsors to design and build the play space.
