    This is a cute picnic spot close to the lake. There's a few benches around the bear sculpture and…read moreeach bench can easily seat 4-6 people.

    A great place to sit with a lake view high above Tahoe City Beach, in a park designated to honor…read morethe heritage of the city through informational placards that celebrate the history. You can walk a trail to the beach below. The park has picnic tables, beach access, and tone block benches that sit like a small amphitheater, but the star of the show is a 12.5 foot mother bear with cubs, covered in about 200,500 pennies.

According to Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, who met at Burning Man for which this 2017 art piece was made, they "encourage interaction with public art because it is approachable and provocative. The materials we use seem from a distance to be standard coatings like paint or steel, but it is on closer examination that the viewer becomes a participant, discovering that the art is covered in whimsical materials like pennies or marbles. These materials have nostalgic connections, they are delightful to touch, perhaps make a sound or pass light." I look at it and think that makes cents.
