In keeping with the playground’s theme of inclusion and barrier-free access, Bruce Garner chose to sculpt children climbing as a way to demonstrate cooperation and teamwork. A figure carefully balances high atop a column, her arms outstretched toward a smaller figure. She holds a branch that the smaller figure uses to pull himself upward. Play Pals is a visual symbol of mutual support.
Bruce Garner, a professional sculptor for over 40 years, worked with the Rotary Club of Ottawa to create this artwork for the play area. The artwork was donated to the City of Ottawa in 2009.
Gift of the Rotary Club of Ottawa.
