In the middle of Springfield, MO. in the Jordan Valley Park, there is a giant aluminum man; he is called K-Man.

K-Man, and more still, K-Park is dedicated to children everywhere by the Rotary Club of Springfield Southeast. He and they hope to promote goodwill and peace in the world; also to, "Spark creativity and imagination."

The interesting thing about this sculpture is that it has a crank at it's base; when turned, K-Man will swing both his arms and legs, and turn his head! Pretty cool.

Also there is a nearby play area for kids (young and old alike) with a giant rock to climb and explore.
