Everybody plays: All-access playground moves forward


The parents of Bennett McClurken-Gibney, who died of spinal muscular atrophy in February 2018, will now build an all-abilities playground at Pen Park in his honor. It’ll be modeled after his favorite park in Richmond, where Bennett’s mom says he loved to lay in the saucer swing. Courtesy Kara McClurken
