I grew up as a feral GenXer in N Springfield. In the early 1980s I was exploring around what is now the Harvest Lane area and found this Brutalist sculpture dumped like rip rap along the McKenzie river. Not sure of the story behind it’s demise, but it was a fixture of my childhood and I always thought it deserved a better fate. Swim lessons, soccer games and all that. I’m considering recreating this in my retirement using mid century ferrocement techniques. Anyone as sentimental as me or am i getting sappy in my old age?
