We can't wait to see the new equipment at Bel Air Elementary's playground! In the meantime, please be cautious about the work zones and equipment. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We'll be sure to share the finished product with you soon!

Exciting things are happening on the playground at Bel Air!
The installation of new playground equipment is underway and we are excited for our students and families to enjoy the new additions!
While the Bel Air playground remains open to the public year-round, we ask for your patience and caution during the construction process. Heavy equipment and construction materials will be present on the grounds, creating active work zones that may pose safety risks.
Please help us keep everyone safe by avoiding the installation areas and supervising children closely while visiting the playground.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to sharing the finished project with you soon!
