The park is named for Lodato, who was a wife and mother of 3, and taught music before she died in February 2014. Former Alexandria resident Charles Severance has been charged in her murder and is in jail awaiting trial.
The playground is located behind the Recreation Center and can be accessed by entering the front doors of the Center and proceeding out the back door towards the tennis courts.
