I am normally hesitant of taking photos of a children's playground, I don't want someone accosting me and calling me an old man, OK I am old but not dirty I have a shower once a month whether I need it or not ( that's a joke I shower most days LOL)
But when I saw the statue in the first shot I knew it must have a story and considering it was pre sunrise and no kids or people around I took a few shots

The park was created for two reasons to honor Noah Fernandes and to provide a place that was accessible to all children, including those with physical disabilities, much like Noah had.
Noah, who lived with his family in Acushnet, died in 2016 from complications of mitochondrial disease at the age of 14. He suffered his first stroke, one of many, at age 5, and was then diagnosed with MELAS one of the most severe forms of mitochondrial disease, which keeps cells from functioning properly.
from what I understand this is the only inclusive playground in Souther Massachusetts or was at the time it was opened

I think its great that this playground has been built to allow children with special needs to play and I hope more have been built since this one.
I gather some one recently left the bunny on Noahs Lap and I found it being there quite touching
