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

The statue is of Noah, and his father spearheaded the project to build and open the park

As I walked away after taking some photos I could not resist this shot of the Puddle with the playground in the background

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

Great photos, nice place. The spooky lighting from many angles makes it look like it's from a video game.
Thanks I like your take on these
I totally hear you about not wanting to be accused of anything for no reason. It is pretty hard to get pictures these days in public without wondering what people are going to think... These are great shots. I love that they have created a space that is accessible to all kids.
so true these days one has to be extra careful
I think its great they made it an all inclusive playground
Special needs children around the world are sadly neglected, moving to see a park dedicated to all children who wish to enjoy.
Going anywhere near children's play areas has become quite horrific of late leaves one wondering how this world got into the state it is in.
Uplifting to know people still care, take some interest by spreading this through photography might make some stop and think about the little ones who are left behind.

Yes I must say I was touched first when I saw the statue and then read about Noah and how his family was inspired to built a park suitable fir special needs children
I think it's wonderful that there are playgrounds that allow children with special needs to participate and play outside in parks.
Awww... how sweet! Someone left the bunny on Noah's Lap!
Yeah I must admit I was touched by the statue especially with the bunny and by reading the story of Noah and the park
I think there should be more of these parks suitable fir special needs children
I don't
shootphotograph people anyway, but I know how you feel when you take photos where people are, especially children.I find the idea to have playgrounds for children with special needs great. I don't know if we have such here, maybe in the bigger cities.
The bunny looks cute and makes the statue somehow friendlier 😃
!BEER and !WINE and !PIZZA - perfect 😃

I am the same taking photos of people is something I seldom do
I love seeing candid street photographs but don’t feel comfortable doing it myself
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Yep, street photography is not my thing either. Some look really great, even with people in them, but I couldn't take such photos myself.
Cheers and !BEER

Right, everyone should do what suits him best, although it's good to sometimes do something out of your comfort zone.

What an inspirational story of Noah! Special Needs are so neglected in this world. Thank you for shining a light here!
I have to admit I was touched by the statue, Noahs story and the park
For sure more all inclusive parks are needed
We humans are always trigger my emotions and memories. It is such a beautiful concept. The ability to get moved is quite a precious jewel, I still believe. Very good write up.
Thanks so much 👍👍
What a story! I am happy that this kind of play places exist for kids with disabilities
Yes isn’t it great I wish there was more parks like this
this is a very nice place to visit
It truly is

Great job, great camera angles, and great lighting arrangement. I am glad you take shower on most days 😄 Even I take photos of children's playing areas when I see older people enjoying watching their kids enjoying.
Lol I wondered if anyone would comment on that lol
Have a great day
What a magical playground! It looks like it came directly out of a dream. What was the design of some of the attractions that made them accessible to kids with special needs? I tried to look closely in the shot that had the whole playground, but I couldn't make out anything out of the ordinary.
I didn’t check out the play things in the park to closely but from what I remember some seemed wider than conventional playgrounds
That me all the time about taking photos in public.esp. children. Slightly precautionary with multiple thoughts.
The place looks beautiful. Children's are given to have the strong mindset as they grow up. I believe this playground inspires every moment of Noah life .
You really put effort into photographs. The multicolor lights and green shines well.
Glad it’s not just me that has this mindset
And thanks for your kind words

The first thing that came to my mind after opening this post was why so many big downvotes. Strange. I don't like this jealousy stuff.
Anyways. The colour of sky grabbed most of my attention in the photos
Thanks for your visit
The downvotes are not so much jealousy as someone taking a stand against the voting patterns of a whale on here
Of course I don’t like the look with downvotes on my posts but it’s a part of the system
Hmmmm. That's good you see the other perspective of the downvotes. Of course, that's the part of the system. So far as whales are dropping upvotes, at times I think they should look their voting patterns themselves. Lol. Upvoting multiple posts of the same person in a day is not likely to bring good vibes. Instead, extending upvotes to multiple users in a day is a better idea. That's my innocent thought 😇
And a good thought, Have a great day
😉😃
Awesome photos about a truly awesome playground!
Yet, in the midst of this, I must say, I just love your sense of humor...I'm relieved to hear that at least you have a shower once a month...LOL!! Well done!
I got here via @dreemport.
Children would definitely feel relaxed and happy being in a good place as this Noah's playground. I can see it's a conducive environment for them too.
@dreemport led me here
Yeah its such a big and expansive playground I bet kids love it
Noah's playground is what the world needs during our time to give a place to children with deformities.
Nicely taken pictures.
@dreemport brought me here.
Yes indeed there needs to be more parks like this around
I !LUV this. We have a local centre near us which was built for children and adults with special needs. It is open to the public for pre-schoolers on a Wednesday morning and can be booked for personal events, when not in use by the charity. I used to take my children there on Wednesday mornings when they were little. These places are so special and a much-needed community resource. It is so sad that this young man succumbed to such dreadful disease but wonderful to see his legacy in action. Thank you for sharing a bit of his story and some lovely pictures of this gorgeous children's playground.
That’s great they have a place there wish there was more of them around
Have a great day
Thanks. Actually, it is late evening here now but we did have a lovely day with the kids. We took them on a scarecrow trail through the residential roads of a village local to us. I need to do a write-up and choose the best pics from our little walk and I shall share on Wednesday :-) Enjoy the remainder of your day 🤗
Cool I look forward to seeing it
