Seven Bends State Park
On Saturday, a mosaic was unveiled in the children’s play area near the Hollingsworth Road entrance. It was designed and created by the Community Art Collaborative and represents the beautiful environment of the park.
We’ll take a closer look in a second but first you may be wondering about the character on the left. Why, it’s Ranger Fox!
It was Kids to Parks Day so there were activities for children. One of them was the Mosaic Animal Friends Scavenger Hunt. Guests were invited to find 17 types of animals in the mosaic.
In the middle section, we see the play space with its version of the Woodstock Tower.

Materials for the mosaic were funded by The Friends of Seven Bends State Park, and the framing structure was erected by park staff.
Guests were able to work on creating mosaics.
Although we had a beautiful day, the river itself was still swollen and muddy. The low water bridge had been closed by floodwaters and reopened just the day before.
What a lovely way to celebrate Kids to Parks Day—art, nature, and a bit of adventure all woven together, even if the river wasn’t quite back to normal yet
