Public Art: Artists Vollis Simpson from Lucama, NC and William Moore from Pittsboro, NC were commissioned to create unique features for the park. Both drew inspiration from the land's former use as a farm. Simpson’s three whirligigs, made from castoff machine parts and farm equipment, spin in the breeze. Moore's flock of nine Suffolk sheep, a distinctive feature of the original Bartley farm, will graze in the open play field near the playground area.
