Business heavyweights John Fish of Suffolk Construction and Jeff Leiden of Vertex Pharmaceuticals came together with businessman and philanthropist Joe O'Donnell and his wife, Kathy, yesterday to kick-off a community effort to build a new playground named for O'Donnell's son, Joey, who died of cystic fibrosis in 1985.
Joey's Park, at Belmont's Winn Brook Elementary School, will replace the original playground built by the community after Joey died.
"It's so special to be able to do it all over again," Joe O'Donnell said. Kathy O'Donnell said the day was "very emotional."
The new playground was designed in part by Belmont children, and will be built by about 1,000 members of the community, including Joey's former classmates and volunteers from Suffolk Construction and Vertex, the Cambridge company that makes a leading cystic fibrosis drug. The playground will be finished by Columbus Day.
