Esther Short Park - Vancouver, Washington
A Nod to Benefactors
 

      
A subtle touch
      gives tribute to park benefactor George Propstra (above), who
      made much of the park renovation possible. The local history
      is cast in bronze in the form of a newspaper (below) that chronicles
      the role of the Propstra family in the park and town square renewal.
      Like all good public art, this piece shows signs of community
      appreciation in the form of a polished knee, worn shiny by children
      climbing into the lap of the father of Esther Short Park. The
      sculpture's location on a park bench ensures that it has frequent
      company from park visitors.
