Inspired by the restoration projects to improve salmon habitat along the channels of nearby Mosquito Creek, Salmon Cycle celebrates the connection between the community and the living systems of the surrounding natural environment. This human powered interactive sculpture whimsically asks if fish have learned to climb ladders what would it be like if they could ride bicycles? Children and adults are invited to play with the sculpture’s steering wheel and watch this six foot salmon train for its next “Spin Class”.
Note: Water pumping through this sculpture, is directly tied to a unique water collection system that reuses the facility’s runoff water for the garden landscape.
