On Nov. 10, the Fall River City Council approved spending $1,010,000 to build Mae’s Playground, a sensory-friendly playground planned for Abbott Court Playground Park. It will be paid for by a combination of grants, private fundraising and local community preservation funds. Riley has led the campaign to build it for over a year. “Finally, I feel like we’re there, fund-wise,” Riley said.
