Giant Spider Sculpture
Nice piece of art!
[Melanie, 03/25/2022]I missed the sculpture the first time I went by the intersection. I had to backtrack to find it. I was expecting the sculpture to be visible from the road. The park edges are not maintained, so the weeds obstruct the view of the "art" from the road.
