I brought you news yesterday about the rebuilding of the playground at Stadium Place in Waverly, which burned to the ground last September and (it's hoped) will be resurrected during a volunteer reconstruction May 5-10.

Now the folks at KaBOOM!, a nonprofit organization that has a goal of bringing safe playgrounds to kids around the nation, are joining forces with residents of the area around Inner Harbor East Academy for Young Scholars to bring that school a new playground Thursday.

Spokeswoman Meghan Sager tells me 200 volunteers from Giant Foods will help with the effort, and that the playground at 200 N. Central Ave. will be open to the community at large after school hours. She says the community can still help with the playground tomorrow starting at around 8:30 a.m.; the play area will be formally dedicated around 2:30 p.m.
