Warren Resident Constructs LEGO Amusement Park

WARREN, NJ — Lifelong Warren resident William Mahon constructed a LEGO amusement park that will be on display through January at the Warren Library.

Mahon, a 26-year-old autistic man, says he is passionate about creating pieces for the enjoyment of all, especially children.

The display features a carousel, roller coaster, castle, and Ferris wheel constructed out of LEGO building bricks.

Mahon participates in the J Cares program in JCC at 775 Talamini Road in Bridgewater, which is an adult intern program that provides social and recreational opportunities to adults with developmental disabilities, where he is a teachers' assistant in a preschool classroom. He is a member of the Chez Renee Super Star dance team and is a Special Olympics athlete. In his spare time he enjoys visual arts, building, and creating.

His display will be available at Somerset County Library System of New Jersey’s Warren branch at 42 Mountain Blvd through Jan. 31.

For more information or artists interested in exhibiting in the Art Space at SCLSNJ’s Warren Twp. Library branch should contact staff member, Kathy DeCristofaro at kdecristofaro@sclibnj.org.
