Doug Mehren’s Wheelbarrows installation features eleven powder-coated wheelbarrows with accompanying steel figures, holding a variety of garden tools.
The wheelbarrow sculptures are scattered throughout the park’s gardens, so visitors can discover them as they explore the park. The installation is intended to engage and surprise park visitors with a delightfully colorful sculpture while they discover the many wonderful gardens in the Railyard Park.
