RANDOLPH — In the fall, a new playground was supposed to be built in Randolph in memory of native son DJ Simmonds, a Boston police officer who was injured during the hunt for the Boston Marathon bombers in 2013 died from those injuries the following year.
But the worsening pandemic scrapped those plans as the nonprofit organization from New Jersey, which was donating the project, could not make the trip and piece the equipment together at Belcher Park in October as planned.
But the Where Angels Play Foundation and Randolph residents will piece together the delayed playground during a two-day project beginning at 9 a.m. May 13 and 14, with a ribbon-cutting planned for 11 a.m. Saturday, May 15.
