Attend a Ribbon Cutting to celebrate “Picnic” on Saturday May 9! Join us from 11-12:30 p.m. at Big Bull Creek Park, 20425 Sunflower Road in Edgerton. Meet the artists, take a guided hike, and don't forget to pack a Picnic lunch!
The 16th permanent piece in the JCPRD Public Art Collection, “Picnic” celebrates the park’s restored prairie habitat and the rich ecosystem it supports. The work features bronze and steel sculptures of native grassland birds, pollinators, and insects—woven into steel benches adorned with bronze-cast native grasses. "Picnic" is part of the JCPRD Public Art Program, which integrates creativity into our parks, trails, and facilities. At Big Bull Creek Park, the sculpture will draw visitors in and highlight how art, nature, and community thrive when they’re in balance.
This project calls for special recognition for two long-time friends and supporters, Fred and Carol Logan. Early on, Fred was instrumental in the protection of Big Bull Creek Park. Since then, their commitment to community has extended beyond conservation. Through their support of JCPRD and the foundation, they have championed public art as an essential part of shared public space. Their continued investment in the park can also be experienced along its trails that invite visitors into the prairie landscape. JCPRD is thrilled to honor them with this beautiful addition.
“We’re so proud to support the vision that has guided the creativity and hard work of JCPRD staff, diverse community partners, and artists to create projects that enliven parks and facilities with art that inspires, educates and delights guests.”
