What's a married drone pilot to do?? Here's a bit of background on this cool little piece of architecture and landscaping:
Since the founding of the city, the downtown area was prone to flooding, hindering travel, damaging and destroying businesses and the buildings they were housed in. As part of the flood remediation program, the city elected to construct Founders Park. The park is designed to retain rising waters from heavy rains. An engineering feat, the park floor was raised above the creek bed, and retention walls were constructed to allow the rising water a place to go. The park is home to several sculptures placed there by a local art committee, and hosts live music, food truck junctions, and the popular Blue Plum Festival. The park also borders the newly constructed Farmers Market, Wild Wing Cafe, and Yee-Haw Brewing company.
