A favorite in the 'bury', with a great story, and an amazing way to add to the community!



Ben's Red Swings is this amazing play ground, with all kinds of super fun playground things that I am sure have technical words, but I don't happen to know what they are.....its beautifully landscaped, packed with kids, and right by the zoo.



It was only until later I learned who Ben was. Ben was a little boy who passed away of leukemia. In memory of Ben, his family raised money to build this playground - a place where all kids can come and play........no matter how old.



I just loved this idea and thought I would share it with all of you and the photos of course.....It is just amazing to see how creative minds can work to do things for others and their community!! PS The organization that helped in the building of the playground can be found here http://www.leathersassociates.com/
