The Oaklands Children's Zoo Entry Plaza

SNAKES IN THE GRASS

"I want to come in!"...Artist Robin Murez hears the exciting shrills of children at her Entry Plaza ...a crossing so magnetic many people just stop and stare..."
Laura Casey, The Oakland Tribune, July 11, 2005

Two (30' long x 20" diameter) concrete snakes frame the entry plaza, slithering over
ground, under a creek, and around the bronze blades and giant amphibian eggs, providing seating, climbing and serpentine challenges. Steel reinforced concrete
sculpted, incised and pigmented on site.
