Doug Mehren’s Wheelbarrows installation featured 11 powder-coated wheelbarrows with accompanying steel figures, holding a variety of garden tools.

The wheelbarrow sculptures were scattered throughout the park’s gardens, so visitors could discover them as they explored the park. The installation was intended to engage and surprise park visitors with a delightfully colorful sculpture while they discovered the many wonderful gardens in the Railyard Park.
