EDMOND, Okla. — The Uncommon Ground Sculpture Park in Edmond marked a major milestone with the arrival of the first piece of its centerpiece sculpture, the Eagle's Nest, as part of a $50 million project set to open next fall.

"We are bringing in the Eagle’s Nest," Mayor Mark Nash said. "This isn’t just about public art. This isn’t just about another park in Edmond. This is an opportunity for Edmond to have a real draw on Route 66."

The park, once considered a dream due to disagreements between the city and developers, is now on track to open next fall. The city of Edmond has appropriated $10 million toward the park’s infrastructure and has agreed to provide ongoing operations at about $900,000 a year.
