Whimsical Sculpture Installed at Woodinville Fields

A civic art donation by the Woodinville Garden Club brings a playful bronze sculpture of a baseball glove surrounded by rabbits to Woodinville Fields. The iconic sculpture marks the southwest entry point off 131st Avenue NE to the multi-use athletic fields.

Installed on October 27, 2011, the new sculpture was designed and built by acclaimed Northwest artist, Georgia Gerber.

Proceeds from the garden club's annual Plant Sale and Garden Tour were used to commission the $28,000 sculpture with the WGC Reserve Fund Committe overseeing the planning and development process. The City of Woodinville contributed $5,000 to the project and installed the concrete pad, night lightling and landscaping.

Since the ball fields are a busy focal point in the community, the sculpture is a favorite attraction for families and children -- providing an ideal prop for a memorable photo opportunity.
