Playground Celebrating the Life of Ana Grace Marquez-Greene
The Ana Grace Marquez-Greene playground, built in Hartford, Connecticut, opened on April 4th, 2014. The Hartford playground is the eighteenth playground created for the Where Angels Play Foundation and is dedicated to Ana, a victim of the Sandy Hook Shooting. Born in Hartford, Ana spent a lot of time at the park, so it was important her playground stood there. It's all part of the Sandy Ground Project, which is building 26 playgrounds for each of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.
Covered with her artwork, Ana's playground opened on what would have been her eighth birthday. It is decked out in her favorite color purple and includes her love for music and dance and her artwork. Her family hopes kids play there for years to come and that it will be a place of peace and ring with laughter in remembrance of their little girl.
