Description

Artist Joe McGrane created an art space at the northern Foothills Trail trailhead at Reservoir Ridge. It consists of two low concrete walls that define a picnic space and reference the farmstead that was once located there. The artwork includes welded steel "windows", referencing the earlier homestead, with silhouette cutouts depicting common birds, animals, and insects that visit the area. The wall that marks the entry to the space is designed for seating and incorporates a low-relief bronze map of the Reservoir Ridge Trail experience in the form of a game board where small stones are moved along a path with detours and side adventures one might find along the actual trail.
