A Simpler Time: Mississippi River travelers are greeted by two charming children waiting on the levee at Riverside Park and waving their welcome. What could bring more joy to a community than its children at play? These bronze statues were created by artist Michael Martino and were dedicated in 2006. At the feet of the children is a brick plaza lined with the names of the park's generous donors. Be a part of "A Simpler Time" project by sponsoring a brick today.
