Rachael AT HOME WITH As a Realtor, I spend a lot of time helping people find the perfect place to call home, but there’s something truly special about creating a place for the entire community to enjoy. That’s why I’m beyond excited to share the story of The Hill Family Legacy Playground, a project that is about so much more than slides and swings—it’s about honoring a family’s love and dedication to to their children and Pocomoke City. Bob and Leona Hill were longtime Worcester County residents. After losing both of their children, Christopher and Heather, at young ages, they created The Heather Leigh and Christopher Robbin Hill Foundation to carry on their legacy. Heather, a medical researcher, had a dream of building a Science Oriented Educational playground in her hometown, where children could play, explore, and spark a love for learning. After years of fundraising, community events, and ultimately, the generous estate donation from Bob and Leona, that dream is now a reality. The Playground is fully funded by the foundation and will be a place where children can learn, grow, and create lasting memories for years to come. We’re thrilled to announce that the jungle gym portion of the playground will open on April 2nd, giving kids an exciting space to enjoy right away. Then, on April 16th, we will officially celebrate with a ribbon-cutting ceremony . I hope you’ll join us in celebrating this special moment for Pocomoke City. Let’s play, explore, and dream big—just as Heather envisioned.
