The Doris Baxendale dedicated bench is located in Mural Park at the corner of E. Main Street and Nevada Avenue. This a very well done mural completed in 1999. It shows the deep canyons typical of regions of Wyoming, and wild horses roaming free. There is also a refreshing spray pond at the back of the park and several dedicated benches.
