The park next to City Court and the library has sculptures lining the two outside perimeters. All the pieces of the sculpture are orange, and about 10 feet tall. They each resemble a tree, with a tall post in the center, and the large cut-out words climbing up the left side, and down the right side. The five word trees are: words, debate, meet, share, and ideas.
