2201 Lawton
Sunset District
Sunset Playground
This piece was commissioned by the SFAC for $70,000. The artist selected was Bryan Tedrick.
Brian is a local boy, born in Oakland, he holds a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. He is a prolific and very versatile metal sculptor.
These five sculptural elements were inspired by the Sunset District’s setting sun and plentiful wind.
Sunset Playground is a four acre park that occupies a full city block between 28th and 29th Avenues, at Lawton and Moraga. In addition to a recreation center, the site has two tennis courts, a basketball court, a baseball field, children’s play areas, and a small community garden. Open since 1940 the park was in need of a complete renovation. This renovation, a three year project, was funded to the tune of $14 million through the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond.
really great photos and place!
Love how you caught the shadows of the metal work — beautiful! A gifted artist!
They certainly say wind! Nice.
