The Spirit of Moore - Moore, OK - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

This park was heavily damaged by an F5 tornado in 2013, which left little of the park behind. The City of Moore rebuilt and further improved the park with a play area, hiking trails, and fishing ponds. This set of three sculptures, entitled "The Spirit of Moore," commemorates the courage and tenacity of a city that has three times in the last twenty years suffered F4 and F5 tornado damage. A nearby plaque reads, in part, that Moore is a community that is "always dreaming, always planning, and always building."

One statue shows a little girl - The Dreamer - with a bird resting on her outstretched arm.

Another - The Planners - depicts a boy and a girl seated on a bench viewing a map of Moore.

The last shows a boy with a shovel and rolled up plans - The Builder - ready to work after the tornado damage.
