Grand Opening of Noah’s Playground in Newtown

Noah Cohen

On Saturday, November 14th, from 11am to 2pm there will be a ribbon cutting for the opening of “Noah’s Playground” in Newtown, PA, which will honor 2-month-old Noah Cohen, who passed away from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in 2010.

Parents Natalie and Jason Cohen raised over $55,000 in five years with community yardsales, lemonade stands, and other fundraisers. The remaining balance was provided by Newtown’s Open Space bond allocation. Special features of the playground include an inclusive design and a rubberized surface.

The playground will be unveiled at Veteran’s Park at 234 Durham Road in Newtown, PA. Additional parking is available at Newtown Elementary School. The ribbon cutting will happen at 11am, followed by a magic show from Judy Tudy the Clown.

In addition to the ribbon cutting, there will be several activities for children: a magic show, face painting, and balloon artists. Food options include hot dogs, cookies, soft pretzels and hot chocolate.
