The tug o war sculptures represent young children playing a game with carefree spirit and laughter. They looked very realistic. The sculpture was created by W. Stanley Proctor. It was donated to the Children's Garden by Ruth and John Jurenko. This sculpture is located in the middle of the Children's Garden and can be spotted from several yards away. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to play Tug O' War with them.
You must purchase tickets to the Botanical Gardens in order to enjoy the many wonderful sculptures of children in the Garden.
