Julia's Garden Arch, World War I Memorial Park and Zoo - North Attleborough, MA - Freestanding Arches on Waymarking.com

In North Attleborough, within the World War I Memorial Park and Zoo, is Julia's Garden. This section of land has both a natural part that has plants to attract butterflies, as well as a playground, with a large slide. At the main entrance to the garden is an artistic archway.

The park is off Elmwood Street (MA Route 106). Drive on the road within the park (it makes a loop), and park by the petting zoo. From there enter the zoo and keep walking through it until you see the archway to the left.

The archway has two stainless steel, angular posts. On top of each post is a structure that represents a birdhouse, painted purple. Spanning the posts is a semicircular arch that has a metal vine with purple flowers intertwined with the arch. Haning down from the arch is a metal sign with "Julia's Garden" etched in it. On either side of the archwas is an iron fence. At the base are peacock sculptures.

Julia Cekala was a child that had battled through many medical conditions throughout her short life. In 2005, development of the garden began. The web site for Julia Cekala Foundation describes the garden and about Julia. The garden is actually a mixture of landscaped gardens to attract butterflies, a slide, and a walkway that crosses a bridge, with a sculpture of a unicorn within view. The web site also states that this is a work in progress.
