CityBeat: Laughing Brook

CityBeat's Margo Pierce has written about Laughing Brook, a bio-art project on the Mill Creek adjacent to Salway Park in Spring Grove Village.

The bio-art is a manufactured sculpture wetland built to clean run-off water before it spills into the creek.

One-hundred pieces of porous concrete sculpture will be covered with moss, cleaning the water as it passes over.

The Mill Creek Restoration Project teamed up with ArtWorks, environmental artist Jackie Brookner and various local businesses to make the project happen.
