Seven for Seven Trees

Artist: Roman de Salvo (2011)

In Roman de Salvo's design for the Seven Trees public art, an Italian stone pine from the site becomes the centerpiece of the artwork, which is also the focal point of the recreational area. Around the tree the artist came up with an array of creative play elements for children of all ages: Spring Riders, Woodpecker Poles, and even an Insect Maze. Overall there are seven different play elements. Each of the pieces is created from individual trees, referencing the neighborhood’s longstanding Seven Trees identity.

All trees used for this project were previously scheduled for removal reinforcing the project's commitment to being environmentally friendly.
