"Lift Off is the kinetic sculpture located at the disc golf park. Davis used the circle and the spiral to form a colorful and gestural celebration of the essence of the park. The spiral suggests energy and propulsion of the disc; at the opposite end, a wind vane in the shape of a disc connects to the airborne aspect of the golfing activity and can give golfers an indication of wind direction, which may affect the path of long throws."


I did not actually notice that the paddle was turning. There wasn't much breeze. When I got home and looked at my pictures it made me look twice. Then when I found the write up it confirmed that it was indeed kinetic.
