OCEAN CITY, N.J. (WPVI) -- Dozens gathered at the Jersey Shore to honor a little boy whose life was cut short in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

A playground at 29th Street and West Avenue in Ocean City was dedicated in the name of 6-year old Ben Wheeler.

He was one of 26 victims in the shooting rampage in Connecticut on December 14th, 2012.

Ben's family, including his parents and brother, were on hand for the dedication.

Ben's mom and grandparents vacationed in Ocean City and considered it a home away from home.
