Originally designed as a “playground equipment” the bronze hands statue was created by Toronto artist Luis Jacob. It is located at 35 Wellingtong St. E, Toronto downtown.
Behind the statue is a beautiful “dog fountain” monument. Both the statue and the fountain are situated in Berzcy Park.
With respect to the bronze statue, I’m not sure how much playing could have been done. It seems a bit odd for a plaything and for kids to play on.
Still, when it was first erected it had a number of ropes attached to it, creating a bridge like design between the two hands; Almost like the typical monkey bars you would find in a school yard playground.
However, when I was there, no ropes were found. Nevertheless, its artistic purpose can be appreciated. For me, it makes a background photo Haha.
If you find yourself in the downtown core near wellington street east, go and check out Berzcy Park and see the beautiful structure! Don’t forget to bring your friendly dog companions to see the dog fountain.
I’m sure they would enjoy a nice playtime!
