The Freeman Playground will provide a safe place in the Delta town of Helena, AR to enhance the physical and mental lives of children and families by increasing their health and wellness, to help avoid obesity, diabetes and other health risks, and to discourage recreational drug use, crime and violence. The playground will provide a safe, attractive, fun place to play that is also accessible to people of all abilities (ADA-approved) with ramps for wheelchairs, elliptical equipment, and a poured rubber surface. It will be a memorial to baby Freeman who died at 10 months of age due to a rare syndrome. He was the only child of his parents, and they wish to honor his life by creating a playground for families to enjoy together, enjoy fresh air and exercise.
