Mama Rosa at Firefly Grove Park

Crafted by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, this 24-foot-tall wooden troll sculpture sits nestled in a suburban park, built entirely from recycled local timber and holding a giant bouquet made from retired city streetlights.

The move: Walk the forest trail through Firefly Grove Park to discover the massive troll, then get up close to her hands to see how repurposed municipal streetlight posts were transformed into giant metal flowers.
