Friends of the Park, 1993 Photographs, enamel on metal

This project was created to recognize the importance of our parks. Artists photographed visitors to the park, talked with them and incorporated their brief story into the plaques.

Plaque text: A company picnic brought Cally and Sarah Orme to George Washington Park on a Sunday in August, 1991. The day’s agenda: play, eat, and play some more. Sure, there were adult activities. But Cally and Sarah were mostly interested in the moonwalk the company had set up.

Yeah, it was a good day to be out of the valley heat. A good day to hang out with your sister.

The parks. They’re all about kinship.

Location
Washington Park Parleys Canyon District 7
