Playground Celebrating the Life of Lauren Gabrielle Rousseau

The Lauren Rousseau playground was built in honor of Lauren Rousseau, a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary. This playground was opened on May 11th, 2014 in Long Beach Island, New Jersey. The playground was built in the beach town to recognize Lauren’s love for the beach and water. Lauren always collected “lucky pennies” so there are 26 pennies buried under the sand around the playground.
