This is a terrific memorial. The sculpture itself is small compared to the size of the park, but that puts the focus on it. You have to park on the side of the road to visit, but it isn't a busy area.
The inscription on the dedication reads:
The Lifesaver -- A Firefighter Rescuing A Child, Dedicated in Honor of ALL First Responders, September 11, 2021. Sculpture by Barbie the Welder Erin, New York.
