Ray Charles Musical Revolving Sculpture

Couldn't tell he was moving, but they did a wonderful job on the speaker system and the sculpture of Mr. Charles. Faces the water and has the largest piano keyboard I've ever seen.

Revolving Bronze Sculpture of Ray Charles, With Music

What a stop off of I-75 to stretch legs in this great park, with beautiful mosaic treble clef, piano benches, note-shaped benches and Ray Charles statue. He was not rotating while we were there. Thanks for the fun stop!

Ray Charles Statue

Ray Charles statue does rotate. Very, very slowly. Really neat. Look away for a minute and then look back... Ray is in another position!

Rotating Ray Charles.

Revolving Bronze Sculpture of Ray Charles, With Music

It only revolves while the music plays. And it is really slow! Gave me the creeps because I never saw it move, but as I walked through the park, I would look back, and Ray was always at a different angle... What the? Great place to stop!

Revolving Bronze Sculpture of Ray Charles, With Music

Very cute, musical themed park, with musical notes and piano keys in the walkways. The music of Ray Charles is playing from the sculpture as well.
