For longtime Somers residents Wendy and Bill McCloskey, giving back to the community that has given them so much seems only natural. In December 2007, the couple lost their daughter Macie Grace to Trisomy13 when she was only six days old. Both Wendy and Bill recall feeling an overwhelming sense of community togetherness during this period, and this has had a lasting impact on the family.

Designs for Macie's Place Splash Pad feature a pad shaped like a butterfly, signifying Macie and celebrating her life and the spirit of levity and play.
Somers is a special town- there is a sense of community and connection. When you step out, you run into neighbors, classmates, teammates, and friends. We’re together. The McCloskeys, along with town staff, believe that the Macie’s Place splash pad project is yet another way to bring us “together today.”
