Pink bows are tied to the four white pillars on the Kankas' front porch, and a large bow, carved out of wood and painted pink, sits on Megan's front lawn. He is treasurer of Megan Nicole Kanka Foundation, a nonprofit organization that raises money to promote public awareness of Megan's Law, the federal and state measures requiring authorities to notify residents about convicted sex offenders in their midst. Large goldfish swim in a small pond in Megan's Place. Four gray, wooden benches are available for sitting and reflecting. Evergreens line both sides of the fence that separates the park from the houses on either side.
Water pours from a two-tiered cement fountain and a small waterfall adjacent to the pond.
Rosaries are lying on the ground next to a tiny statue of Mary. Parents and their kids use the park all the time, the Eastons said, but all was tranquil there yesterday morning. A cement plaque was placed in the ground recently.
