The overall cost of the project was $5.8 million and funding was made available through annual allocations from the City's Open Space Program, as well as grant monies from the State Park Bond Act. IAS files contain a related article from The Progress, May 4, 1988, pg. B4; and a proposal for the sculpture by the artist.
