Giant Totem Pole: The giant totem pole is the centerpiece of the Ed Galloway Totem Pole Park. The 90-foot-tall structure is a piece of art from the ground to the top. Two hundred works of art adorn the exterior walls and many are bas-relief or raised from the surface of the structure creating a three dimensional effect. The turtle at the base is a natural outcropping of sandstone rock, which Galloway carved into the shape of a turtle. The bold paint colors accentuate the artwork and make each image stand out.
