The McEuen Park area has a new piece of art. The long-anticipated 21-foot-tall sundial near Fifth Street on Front Avenue was installed on Thursday. The art contribution is courtesy of Parkwood Business Properties, which donated $50,000 for the piece. Allied Weldery helped to create the sundial, which was designed by Miller Stauffer Architects. Parks Superintendent Bill Greenwood said signage will soon be place at the site providing a history of sundials and an explanation of how to read the giant time piece.
