Artists bomb local park

City residents may have noticed some fuzzy decorations popping up around Elgin Memorial Park, part of the Parks and Recreation Department’s Yarn Bomb the Park 2024 public arts project.

Part craft and part street art, bollards around the greens have been topped with woven, knitted and crocheted installations demonstrating the creativity and talent that Elginites have to offer. The project is open to the community and will remain on display through June 15.

Department representatives invite anyone interested to pick out a post and decorate it with a hand-crafted design of their choice.

Toppers put on display before May 1 will also be included in the May 9 Elgin Arts and Culture celebration.
