"We're putting WIFI here, they can come and do their homework, and they can meditate, we want to do yoga, they are the type of activities that we're going to do here and this is just one of many to come. We need healing in Baltimore city, our city needs to heal because if we don't that's another way crime is going to continue to go on."
There will also be more than 60 personalized stones memorializing lives lost to gun violence in the community.
