Round Table.

Round Table and Sword in Stone

Really neat replicas. It's fun to try the sword and visit the ancient Greek amphitheater. Pretty cool.

Go in the daytime for safety reasons. I work at the college. People have broken the sword from the stone several times, spray painted the table. It's a constant battle for the groundskeeper to try to keep the park looking nice. It's unfortunate -- it really is a neat place.

Sword in the Stone.

The hard part was getting the sword back into the rock.

Construction in Literary Park.

King Arthur's Round Table - Literary Park

It appears as if they are not only working on the entrance to the park, but adding something to it. The existing sculptures could use a good leaf-blowing, but the park otherwise looks fine.

King Arthur's Round Table - Literary Park

Park is in disrepair. Cannot tell if things are being torn down or fixed up.

Ah, yes... just like that dark period in Camelot.
