The "Entwined" Sculpture in Walter Fuller Park

Earlier this year it was my good fortune to be given a tour of Walter Fuller Park by Dr. Ed Carlson, the president of the Jungle Terrace Civic Association and author of "Advocate for a Healthy Neighborhood." 

One of the highlights was the beautiful "Entwined" sculpture by local artist Robbie Robins. The project to acquire an art creation for Jungle Terrace began in 2006 and ‒ after encountering numerous obstacles ‒ was finally completed in 2013. It's located near Jungle Lake and the dog park and has been described as the "crowning jewel in the crown jewel of city parks."

The inscription was composed by Dr. Ed:

"ENTWINED"
Neighbors Entwined with Neighbors
Neighborhoods Entwined in Our City
People Entwined with
Art, Nature, Animals and Plants ~
The Jungle


The complete story of the sculpture is found in the 2nd Quarter 2013 JTCA Newsletter.
