Pack the Park event at Meadowood Regional Park in Baltimore on April 16th, 2025. People from the community came out and donated thousands of dollars worth of sports equipment for youth programs. If you didn’t get the chance to participate, here’s how you can donate your sports equipment!

Every three to four weeks. That’s how often Leveling the Playing Field, a nonprofit that collects and distributes used sports equipment, checks their donation bins around the city and county. They’re large green boxes that read “Donate Sports Equipment.”

The Voorhees 4th Grade Travel A basketball team turned a passion for the game into an opportunity to give back by hosting a shoot-a-thon at Signal Hill Elementary School on March 3 to support Leveling the Playing Field, a nonprofit that provides sports equipment to clubs and schools in need.
