Art in the Park
Sculpture Garden
Thanks to the amazing work of Falmouth artist Sue Beardsley, the Falmouth Dog Park now boasts some wonderful artwork. Sue created a miniature dog park out of recycled metal. She created all these pieces at home in her workshop and assembled them as a wonderful enclosed miniature park. She donated her work to the park in the Fall of 2012.

Cleo's Corner
Cleo's Corner was created in memory of a local young man, Jason Friel , and named after the dog he rescued. His father, Larry Friel, made the first donation to the park to create the memorial and help start the fund for the park's creation. The real Cleo actually attended the dedication of the memorial.
Jim Bowen has led the creation of a half dozen large mosaic murals on-and off-Cape, such as the one seen at the Falmouth Dog Park and under a bridge along the Falmouth Shining Sea Bikeway. During the weekend of the National Mosaic Exhibition at Highfield Hall in August 2012, students helped Bowen, artist Linda Dadek, and illustrator Erica Szuplat (who designed the original image) create the mural. Depicted is the land’s strawberry fields in the background, while dogs and a boy are at play in the park.
