New Bedford City Councilor Ian Abreu has looked into a plan to add 40 to 50 more parking spaces for the Noah's Place handicapped-accessible playground.
New Bedford's mayor announced Tuesday the temporary suspension of a plan to implement paid parking at the handicapped-accessible Noah's Place playground on Pope's Island.
New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell said a pay-to-park program at Noah's Place will protect the users of the handicapped-accessible playground, not hurt them.
The founder Team Noah, Victor Fernandes, sounds off on the New Bedford park board's decision to implement paid parking at the city's ADA-accessible playground.
Noah's Place Playground is not only New England's largest accessible playground but now it is the SouthCoast's first and only to have restrooms open year-round...but there's a catch.
