Spiral, looking out to the street sidewalk entrance to the small park; In a truly collaborative design, sculptor David Phillips and landscape architect Craig Halvorson transformed an intersection previously used for bus parking into a city park. The park includes fieldstones with bronze inlays, artist designed wrought-iron fence, pavings, and beds of flowers. The collaborators organized the configuration of amenities and landscape elements around a spiral form. Commissioned through the Cambridge Art Council's Public Art Program.
