An inscription on the plaque honoring the special playground reads: “Best day ever, ice cream and go to the park!” To honor the sentiment, the City of Windsor will keep a stash of ice cream sandwiches available for the children who attend the ceremony. Brycen’s idea of ​​a perfect day was ice cream and the park.
