Spokane, Washington - Garbage-Eating Goat While you have a description of the garbage-eating goat [statue], it is worthwhile noting that not only is that not the only attraction in Riverfront Park, it's not even the only goat. There used to be a total of five goats around the park, including a live one in a petting zoo. The petting zoo has closed, and one goat was on a plaque or somesuch and I was unable to locate it on my recent trip. That leaves three: the garbage-eating one behind the Looff Carrousel (spelled with two Rs, as Looff preferred), one along a river stairway next to the YMCA below the trestle bridge, and one above Canada Island, which had been in the river bed. Sadly, we were unable to pinpoint the location of the last; it may have been swept away by flood-driven debris.
In addition to the Loof Carrousel, there is a new open fountain at the cityside entrance to the park, sculpted by the same artist who has done numerous other pieces around the park, including the floating metal sculpture. There is also the Little Red Wagon, an oversized play sculpture near some giant children's blocks. [Bernadette Durbin, 09/30/2006]
Spokane, Washington - Garbage Eating Goat Was here this past Saturday. The goat is still here, but it wasn't sucking up any garbage. It was still pretty cool. [Casey, 03/25/2006]
