The only complaint, and I like to hike and walk, is that the parking is only close to Umi and everything else is like a quarter mile one way walk to each item. It would be better to have them closer together because you can be there for a few hours trying to see a handful of sculptures.

The artwork extends into the surrounding park through the 391 limestone posts representing the original shareholders of the Chicago-Colorado Colony.

It is starting to show signs of wear and is a bit weathered. It also has some graffiti on it. It is 20 feet tall, weighs about 3,000 pounds, and is made from bronze and acrylic paint. It is rumored to have chosen the Residence Inn as the site of the sculpture because the hotel had hosted has a Pajama Party fundraiser benefiting Denver's Road Home program in the past. It is an interesting piece that depicts a cowboy holding up two side arms. The cowboy has heart shaped balloon hat and what looks like a magnet for legs. It is all on a platform. As I mentioned, it is abstract AF. You have to stare at it for a little while to decipher what it is, a cowboy in pajamas. Anyway, as with most sculptures that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a very long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. Even though I passed it a few times since I was staying at the hotel next door. I recommend making this stop part of a larger itinerary or checking it out if you are in the area and/or on your way somewhere else, to maximize your time.

It is set next to the Hotel Registration sign leading to the Residence Inn. Drive by viewing! I couldn't find parking, so luckily, traffic came to a stop and I snapped a quick pic. This is definitely a whimsical piece! It's also a sort of abstract since there's basically only a pair of pants and an odd shaped abdomen with a belt in between. What might be perceived at first as arms are actually pistols. There's no face, arms, hands, nor feet. In summary, this is a cowboy with its guns drawn. Cowboy Pajamas is a solid work made from bronze, weighing three tons! It stands at over 20 feet tall. The sculptor is Sean O'Meallie. It was installed in 2008. Why is this sculpture in front of a hotel? This hotel, the Residence Inn at this address, hosts an Annual Pajama Party fundraiser. The fundraiser benefits and raises awareness for the homeless.

She mostly consists of tree roots which tie her from the head to the ground. Her belly is like a womb, which you are encouraged to stand or sit inside. Umi means "Mother" in Arabic and this sculpture esteems motherhood and Mother Nature. Umi is one of five sculptures in Popper's "The Human Nature" exhibit commissioned by the Morton Arboretum outside Chicago. Umi was dismantled and brought here from Chicago and then reassembled by Daniel Popper onsite. There was no plaque or stone describing the sculpture. This sculpture was created by South African artist Daniel Popper. He & his wife were once Colorado residents. Umi was inspired by the concept of "Gaia," the Greek goddess of Earth. Also, there's no sign telling you to keep off. I can imagine curious children trying to climb up her roots! I came out to this new housing development called The Aurora Highlands to see this sculpture. Umi is located in what looks like a desolate dirt field right now. Aurora Highlands Pkwy has two separate roads that runs along both long sides of this field are one way roads. There's a bridge at E. 38th Pkwy that takes you to the other road to take you back out. You will see her here. Throughout the 2-mile length of Hogan Park at Highlands Creek, there will be more than 20 art installations here in the future, brought to you by Art In The Park! There is no real place to park. Since this immediate area had very little traffic, I briefly parked on the side of Aurora Highlands Pkwy heading back towards Main St. I got out and walked down the embankment of the park to go see Umi. When this neighborhood has more residents & traffic, I wouldn't recommend parking here at all! It seems like this sculpture is mostly to be admired & appreciated by the people who live nearby rather than just anyone who wants to come see her. There are sidewalks throughout, which makes it convenient for the neighbors to either walk over or ride bikes. I'm glad I got to come take a look! She probably looks really pretty today with the light snowfall on her. When I came yesterday, the sun was lower in the sky and made for a beautiful silhouetted picture!

It's located in a place called Demargo Market which is a neighborhood comprised of living spaces, offices, bike paths, play areas, splash pad, dog park, picnic areas, event lawn, fire pit, sport courts, & community garden. This is a 30 ft sculpture of a rhino with a brightly colored lower area. The top is unpainted weatherized steel while the lower parts are painted all-weather climbing panels. If you want, there are rock climbing holds for you to use if you want to climb it! Rhingo is hefty, weighing in at 22,000 pounds! The largest real life rhino weighs 7,000 pounds. He just turned 1 on the day I came, 09-13-2026. They had a big party celebrating him! I had no idea when I showed up an hour after it was over. Good thing, because there was parking available.
