Fannie Mae Dees Park
Images of Minnie Pearl, mermaids, ships, crabs, clowns and countless other objects and animals festoon the the sea serpent (now known as the Dragon) in Fannie Mae Dees Park (now known as Dragon Park). In the 1970s, when Pedro Silva was commissioned to create a sculpture on the playground at Fannie Mae Dees, the park was nothing. Silva’s work involved the community, and all the local kids wanted to put a mosaic on the sea serpent. Now those children’s children clamber over and under the vibrant sculpture, happily at play in one of their favorite settings. Photos taken here have a dreamy quality—you can almost capture imagination in pixels. GALYN GLICK MARTIN
