The Cabral Park entrance gates on Wickenden Street in Providence, Rhode Island, have a fox theme, reflecting the neighborhood's name: Fox Point. The side-hinge gates are four feet wide and three feet high with curved tops. Both sections feature a sitting animal in silhouette, each the mirror image of the other. Spelled out in capital stencil letters along the bottom of the east gate is "FOX POINT" and the west gate "CABRAL PARK".
The custom metal work was a 2013 project by The Steel Yard, a non-profit industrial art center and shared studio located in Providence, RI, that offers work to order, courses and educational programs in blacksmithing, welding, jewelry, foundry, and ceramics. They have produced dozens of public art projects and commissions around the state on a wide variety of scales and applications.
