About Greenwood Pond: Double Site
In 1989, the Des Moines Art commissioned artist Mary Miss to build an installation at Greenwood Park that would immerse residents into nature. The wooden boardwalk and all surrounding structures at Greenwood Park, including the birdwatching tower and submerged viewing tank are part of this installation. The installation was part of a permanent collection at the Art Center completed in 1996.
