For visitors of St. Thomas heading to 1Password Park this spring, all they’ll have to do is look for the oversized soccer ball sculpture. It is set to be the centrepiece of the new roundabout that will be constructed at the entrance to the park off Burwell Road.
The 3-D sculpture, which is the work of area artist Scott McKay, joins his other creations at the Gateway roundabout in the city’s west end and along the St. Thomas Elevated Park. Cost of his 11.5 foot high piece is $35,000, which is to be included in the final tab for construction of the city’s newest roundabout.
In case you’re wondering, the ball will weigh about 3,500 pounds.
