Update:
Ciao Poplar Trees |
Even in the dead
of winter Sydney G. Walton Square is alive
with quiet beauty. Named for a San Francisco businessman
and cultural leader, the park is situated in a tranquil area between
Front and Davis Streets, and Jackson Street and Pacific Avenue. The park
is busy during the lunch hour but perfect for a reflective visit almost
any other time. Highlights include a ring of poplar trees and a
fine outdoor sculpture collection. Works installed here are Joan Brown's
mosaic
Pine Tree Obelisk, George Rickey's
Two Open Rectangles, Francois Stahly's bronze
Fountain
of the Four Seasons, and other great bronze work including Jim Dine's
1984
Big Heart on the Rock and Marisol's
Portrait
of Georgia O'Keefe. Not to be missed is San Francisco sculptor Beniamino
Bufano's The Penguins, located just
outside the park at Jackson and Davis.
